Abstract

The community-contributed command georoute is designed to calculate travel distance and travel time between two addresses or two geographical points identified by their coordinates. Since its conception and description by We- ber and Péclat (2017, Stata Journal 17: 962–971), the command has been grad- ually maintained and enriched. The new version of georoute presented in this article encompasses major improvements, such as the possibility to specify trans- port mode and departure time. The new features open the way to a multitude of more sophisticated research applications.
