Trips Outside Regions

While creating an analysis, you can choose one of the two following parameters:

Additional trip parameters.
  1. ADD TO EXTERNAL REGION

The first one, “Add to external region”, is a default setting. It means that all the trips which had their start or end point outside of your defined region will be added to a separate “External” region instead of adding them to the region they traveled through.

Only the trips that started or ended exactly at the regions you defined will be added to those regions.

Examples of trips and how we identify them with the "Add to external region" option selected.

2. TRIM TO DEFINED REGIONS

The second one, “Trim to defined regions”, will add the aforementioned trips (the ones that started or ended outside of your regions, but traveled through them) to the region they were first and last seen in.

In this case, there will be no additional region named "External", as the trips will be trimmed to the regions you created.
