Site Selection Map Tool
Score candidate locations using proximity, travel time, demographics, competitors, and infrastructure.
TIER 2
A focused utility on top of EDK’s searchable, mappable geographic primitives.
What the Site Selection Map Tool Is Useful For
Site selection is a multi-layer geographic decision, and the strongest location is rarely the one that wins on a single variable. For people searching for a site selection tool, the value is getting a spatial answer they can understand and use immediately rather than piecing the same calculation together across multiple mapping tools.
Go Beyond a Basic Site Selection Tool
The tool is built around weighted site scoring, proximity criteria, exclusion zones, and travel-time access. These capabilities make the site selection tool useful for real geographic work rather than a one-off visual. Users can move from a simple map question into a richer comparison or analysis without changing tools.
Layer in Crime, 311, Permits, and Traffic Accidents — Site Selection Tool
EDK ingests spatial crime data, 311/service requests, community issues, permits, and traffic accidents. Use those layers inside the same radius, catchment, territory, route, property, or study area to understand local conditions instead of evaluating the site selection tool result in isolation.
Built on EDK Search, Maps, Routing, and Compute — Site Selection Tool
This site selection tool sits on the same EDK primitives available through the API, SDK, CLI, and MCP. That means the utility can connect to geocoding, maps, vector tiles, routing, spatial compute, and EDK’s broader physical-world index when a user or developer needs to go deeper.
Turn the Result into Spatial Analysis — Site Selection Tool
Score candidate sites using demographics, competitors, roads, power, permits, crime, 311/community issues, traffic accidents, environmental constraints, and any private criteria.
Make the Analysis Route-Aware — Site Selection Tool
EDK routing can turn the site selection tool into a network-aware tool. Compare ETA, build isochrones, search within a route corridor, or find features within a detour threshold. This matters whenever roads, walking paths, bridges, terrain, or network access change what 'nearby' really means.
Use Cases for the Site Selection Map Tool
Common use cases include retail, data centers, warehouses, healthcare, and renewable energy. The same tool can serve a quick consumer question or a professional mapping workflow because the underlying geography stays measurable, searchable, and reusable.
Turn Mapping into a Location Decision — Site Selection Tool
Run the same site selection tool logic across multiple candidate locations to make comparisons consistent. This is useful when choosing between sites, neighborhoods, facilities, routes, or territories because each option can be evaluated against the same distance, access, density, or contextual criteria.
