I do have two other heatmaps, one with the DISTANCE Google Maps gives… the distribution is actually quite a bit different, because of course some routes take highways and some take slower roads.
Which leads to the third heatmap, which is the average speed Google Maps predicts on the route to the locations.
and then maybe do another heatmap that links up to your state’s traffic advisory website which would in turn throw up a red flag if there are any traffic incidents for any of these squares.
What am I looking at here?
Randy! Long time no hear!
I am glad you asked.
The Y axis is latitude in decimal degrees ranging from 46.6 N to 48.6 N. The X axis is longitude in decimal degrees ranging from 123.2 W to 121.2 W.
The values in each block is what Google Maps Directions gives as the driving time from my house to the coordinates in question.
The squares are colored as a heat map with green being short times and red being long times.
The black squares are coordinates where Google Maps was unable to provide driving directions.
now what you should do is make each square a link to Google Maps showing a starting point of your house and an end point of the destination.
I’ll let you do that bit for me.
