Isochrones API

See everywhere you can reach.

Generate drive-time and distance polygons — the geometry behind delivery zones, service coverage, and expansion planning.

What it does

The Isochrones API answers “what can I reach from here in N minutes?” with real road-network polygons, not circles. Stack multiple contours (10/20/30 min) in a single call, for any vehicle profile and any time of day.

Zones built from isochrones can be saved as named, versioned assets and referenced from other Symt APIs — assign orders by zone, price by zone, report by zone.

Key features

Engineered for the hot path.

True network polygons

Computed on the road graph — a 15-minute zone follows highways and dead-ends, not a radius.

Stacked contours

Multiple time or distance bands in one call, returned as clean nested GeoJSON.

Zone management

Persist polygons as named zones with versions; query point-in-zone at high QPS.

Reverse isochrones

“Who can reach this dark store in 12 minutes?” — inbound reachability for site selection.

Traffic-time aware

Compute the 8 pm zone, not just the free-flow zone, using your probe data.

Rendering-ready

GeoJSON output drops straight onto Symt Vector Maps with one layer definition.

Why teams switch

Most cloud map platforms have no isochrone API — teams approximate each polygon with hundreds of matrix calls.

Symt returns the polygon directly: one call instead of an expensive matrix workaround, and it is exact.
