About Maxsight Geodistance

You can use Maxsight to run the Geodistance check.

How a Geodistance check works with Maxsight

This is the default behavior of a variant of the Geodistance check with Maxsight.

The check is performed by sending the latitudes and longitudes of two coordinates to Maxsight, which calculates the distance between them and determines if this distance is within the proximity threshold configured for the task.

The check results display the two coordinates and the distance between them in miles.

The check passes when the distance is within the threshold.

The check fails when the distance is beyond the threshold.

If the distance cannot be calculated or the coordinates are invalid, an error message is displayed.

Note

This check cannot be configured as an automated check.

When you run this check via the API, you have the option to assign any names you like to the two coordinates, for example, Stated address and Current location.
