You can configure some address and distance calculations options in the Operations App.
To get to Address and Distance Options go to Tools > Address and Distance Options.
Address Options
Address Options allow you to configure options for when addresses are entered.
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Use look ahead typing | Enable look ahead typing when entering address names. |
Proper case names | Automatically capitalize street names in the address fields and US and Canada cities in the Classic Operations App. |

Distance Calculations Options
You can configure some considerations on how distances between addresses are calculated.
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Calculation method 1 | Primary method on how distance between addresses is calculated. |
Calculation method 2 | Secondary method on how distance between addresses is calculated. |
Use Shortest Distance | When checked, Google will use the shortest distance instead of shortest time to calculate the distance between addresses regardless to street type or length of time to go through the streets. |
Mile factor | Multiplier for distance calculations. Example If this is set to 1.5 and the calculated distance is 10, the distance displayed will be 15. |
Round distance up at | The tenth of a mile when milage will be rounded up.
|
Coordinate Priority | The starting point used when calculating distances. Changing this value from “Standard” is not common.
Quick Tip: Choosing something other than “Standard” would make the origin and return distance the same. This could be helpful in urban areas where there are lots of one way streets. Example If “North” is selected, the northern most point will be used as the origin. |
