This document discusses the evolution of geographic information systems (GIS) and geo web services from the 1990s to 2010. It summarizes different companies' approaches to providing isochrone (drive time/walking area) analysis as a web service. While basic mapping, routing and geocoding services were widely available, specialized geoanalysis services like isochrones were still lacking from major GIS vendors. The document proposes using open source GIS and cached results to provide a cost-effective isochrone web service to address this unmet need.
