Hello SAS Community,

I am looking for the best way to calculate the driving distance between postal codes in the Netherlands.

What would be the best way to go about this problem?

Thx

Do you want to calculate the real driving distance, like it is done in a navigation system, or take the center of one postal code area and calculate the distance to the center of another postal code area?

You can incorporate Google Maps. Take a look at: http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Driving_Distances_and_Drive_Times_using_SAS_and_Google_Maps

The link that @art297 provided will be your best shot at doing something like that. Calculating driving times and espically routes on a turn by turn basis is a hard problem which is best solved by consuming an api like the one provided by Google Maps.
