Calculating the Distance Between Points Carter Vickery, our local GIS guru offers expert advice on using ArcGIS to create maps and do spatial analysis. Scenario: You have a set of points. You'd like to know the best way to calculate the distance between points found in a layer and a specific point (other than using the measure tool). For example, if these points represent cities, and you would like to know the distance between each of the cities and the capital, this tutorial will illustrate how to calculate the distances.
