Welcome to the CDXZipStream October 2011 Newsletter7777
CDXZipStream
Version 11 is here, and in this month's newsletter
we'll be highlighting some of its major new
features. First, a supplemental
database for Canada is now available that will
allow you to do lookup, calculate distances,
perform radius analysis, and generate lists, all
for Canadian postal codes. We also have an
extensive new zip code data feed (included with
CDXZipStream Premium and Premium ACS versions)
that provides 115 demographic variables from the
2010 Census. And finally, with Version 11
you can now generate drive time maps that
delineate the area within a specific drive time of
a target zip code.
There
are three new blog articles for
October:

A
 New
Canadian Database in CDXZipStream 11
We
have just added a new Canadian postal code
database in Version 11 (covering over
850,000 codes) that works with CDXZipStream
functions, allowing you to do postal code lookup
and list generation and distance and radius
calculations for locations in
Canada.
The
new database is priced at $99.95 and can be
downloaded with any new purchase of CDXZipStream
from our "Buy
Now" webpage. If
you already own a version of CDXZipStream,
the Canadian database can be purchased from your
online account.

Please contact us at support@cdxtech.com.
The
database works with five CDXZipStream
functions:
- CDXFindZip
- Finds the postal codes associated with a
Canadian city.
- CDXDistance
- Calculates the distance between any two postal
codes. This function also works between both zip
codes in the U.S. and postal codes in
Canada.
- CDXRadius
- Finds the postal codes within a radius around
a target code. You can also choose to
include a mix of U.S. zip codes and Canadian
postal codes if both fall within the radius
area.
- CDXClosest
- Determines which postal code out of a list is
closest to a target code.
- CDXZipList
- Finds the postal codes for an entire Canadian
province or city.
Routing
and other calculations associated with the
functions CDXRouteMP and CDXLocateMP will
continue to use the Microsoft MapPoint database
for North America, including
Canada. |

Advanced
Census 2010 Data Feed by Zip
Code
Advanced
demographic data from the 2010 Census is now
available by zip code in the Premium and Premium
ACS Version 11 of
CDXZipstream. This is a significantly
larger set of data than the 15 fields we added
last month from the 2010 Census; this new separate
feed, listed as CDXCensus2010 under the "Select
Data Feed" dropdown list, provides 115 data fields
covering populations counts, age, gender, race,
and housing categories.
If
you already own CDXZipStream Premium or Premium
ACS, click on the "License Information and
Software Updates" button on the main CDXZipStream
toolbar (third button from the left) and select
"Date Updates" to purchase the new feed through
your account. Data updates for premium
versions are $29.95. If you own a
version of CDXZipStream that does not include this
feed and would like to upgrade, please see our pricing list
for more information; you can then upgrade if
desired through your online account. (Please
contact support@cdxtech.com
if you need your account user name or password
information.) Of course, if you are buying
CDXZipStream for the first time, please see our
"Buy
Now" webpage to purchase
CDXZipStream Premium or Premium ACS.
New purchases already include this
feed.

Drive
Time Mapping is Here
CDXZipStream
Version 11 allows you to generate drive time maps
that delineate the driving time around a target
zip code. This feature is available free in
CDXZipStream MapPoint and higher, and can be
accessed through the right-click function
CDXRadius.
Just
right-click on any cell on your Excel worksheet,
click on "CDXZipStream Functions" and select
"Insert CDXRadius Function". Input the
target zip code, drive time (in minutes), and
specify the result output as "Insert Drive Time
Map". CDXZipStream works with Microsoft
MapPoint in the background to insert in your
worksheet a drive time map with highlighted
area. For a 15 minute drive time around the
zip code 12201 in Albany, New York, the result
is:
If
you already have CDXZipStream MapPoint or higher,
just update to Version 11 by clicking on the
"License Information and Software Updates" button
on the main toolbar and selecting "Product
Updates". If you would like to upgrade
to CDXZipStream MapPoint or higher to obtain
this feature, please refer to our current pricing and
purchase through your online account. (Please
contact support@cdxtech.com if
you need your account user name or password
information.) If you are buying CDXZipStream
for the first time, please see our "Buy
Now" webpage to purchase
CDXZipStream MapPoint or higher. In all cases
separate purchase of Microsoft MapPoint is
required; please see our recommended reseller for
more information. |
