Radius & Service Area · 19 free tools
Radius Map Tools and Service Area Calculators
A radius map answers "what is inside this distance?" in one glance. Begin with the map radius tool to draw a circle around any location, add rings with the multiple radius map when you need 5, 10 and 25 miles side by side, or open the service area map to turn a radius into something a customer or a sales team can read.
Circles are geometric: they ignore water, roads and hills. That makes them honest for policy radii, franchise territories and coverage audits, and misleading for response promises, because a 10-mile circle around a depot with one bridge is not a 10-mile service area. When reach depends on travel, compare with a drive-time area from the routes hub — the difference between the circle and the isochrone is usually the finding, not a technicality.
This cluster also covers the demographic question that normally follows: how many people, ZIP codes or cities fall inside the ring. Population-within-radius runs on Census geography for the United States and is labelled as an estimate; for the land inside the same circle, use the area calculators hub.
