The roads and railways/railroads in Global Insight Plus are not named in any way which limits routing applications. If the scale and currency of the networks are acceptable, the data does have sufficient topological integrity to be used for routing or any other form of network analysis. Course drive-times around positions can also be achieved. Does the airport layer in Global Insight Plus contain the name and three letter International Air Transport Association (IATA) code? e.g. LHR = London Heathrow. Yes. The layer contains over 31,500 airports with name and IATA code where available. There is also an attribute which details if scheduled national and/or international flights operate to/from each location. Does the ports layer in Global Insight Plus contain the name and five letter United Nations (UN) LOCODE? e.g. EGPSD = Port Said, Egypt. Yes. The layer contains over 7,400 ports with name and UN/LOCODE where available.
