Radius sizes
How big is a given radius, really? A radius map draws a perfect circle of a set distance around any point, so you can see exactly how far it reaches in every direction — useful for delivery zones, service areas, evacuation planning, or just sanity-checking a distance. Pick a size below to see its area, diameter, and typical walk/drive time, with real-world size comparisons, then open it directly on the map and draw it around any address, zip code, or your current location.

FAQ
How do I draw a radius on a map?
Open the map tool, switch to Radius mode, then enter a distance and click the map or search for a center point — a circle of that radius is drawn instantly and the map auto-fits to show the whole area. No sign-up or download required.
Can I draw a radius around a zip code?
Yes. Search for a zip code the same way you’d search for an address or city — it’s set as the center point, then enter a radius to draw the circle around it.
What is a radius map used for?
Radius maps are commonly used to check delivery or service areas, visualize evacuation or catchment zones, plan a commute or errand radius, or simply see how big a given distance actually looks on the ground.
What's the difference between a radius and a driving-distance area?
A radius is a straight-line ("as the crow flies") distance in every direction from a point, drawn as a perfect circle. It will usually cover a larger area than you could actually reach driving the same distance, since roads rarely run point-to-point.
