Last Published: April 25, 2020

Error Message

When running a route analysis using Network Analyst either in ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap, if a start time is specified and the Stops are in different time zones while the travel setting is not set to Preserve First Stop, the following error message is returned:

Error:   
ERROR 30024: Solve returned a failure. "Stops" does not contain valid input for any route. Failed to execute (Solve).

Additionally a warning message is included indicating:

Warning:   
Location "Location #" in "Stops" is in a different time zone from location "Location #". The time zone for the route start time is thus ambiguous since the first stop is not being preserved.
