Tutorial

1. Search for a Starting Point
   Begin by entering an address in the search bar. This will act as the center point for your radius circle.

   Use the size input to define the circle's radius. You can toggle between miles and kilometers, and the tool even accepts decimals for precise measurements.
3. Customize the Circle
   Set a color for the circle overlay to make it stand out on the map. The circle has a default opacity of 0.3, allowing you to see the map details underneath.
4. Set the Zoom Level
   Adjust the map’s zoom to get the perfect view of your circle and surrounding areas. This ensures you can easily analyze the radius within the context of the map.
5. No Polygons – Just Circles
   Please note, this tool is specifically for creating radius circles. Polygon shapes are not supported.
6. Optional: Take a screenshot
   Once your map is ready, take a screenshot to save your radius circle for future reference or sharing.

3. Can I use my current location as the center point?
Unfortunately, this tool does not support automatically detecting your current location. You’ll need to manually enter an address to set the center point of the radius.
