Entering the location

When entering the location, remember that the more precise details you put in, the more precise the amount of kilometers is calculated. When you enter the address, HoorayHR will provide suggestions. You can select from these. The more precise the address you enter, the more accurate the distance will be. You can enter a specific city, street, or even a postal code and house number.

Calculation

HoorayHR uses the HERE Technologies database to make the calculations. Personal details aren’t used at all, the routes and distances are calculated based solely on addresses and their GPS details (latitude and longitude).

The amount of kilometers that is displayed after entering the addresses are based on a drive by car and the shortest route.
