Hello all,

After finding the shortest paths between any two nodes in the road network. can we find the distance between those two nodes or any two nodes in that network. I'm actually using different algorithms in matlab for finding the distance between those nodes selected. And i also wanted to know which produces results with greater accuracy(means by following algorithms in matlab or in arcmap itself).

What is matlab using?

Planar or geodesic distances?

What is the areal extent of your road network? (city-wide, country, continental?)

You need to compare on an equal footing.  I am sure that both are equally 'accurate' within the parameters that are used.  It is pretty hard to get  errors in geometric calculations on modern computers
