A radius map tool allows you to create custom radius maps with only a few
clicks. You can immediately create an Excel report for your location
that describes the demographics and locations within your search
distance.
How to Create a Radius Map
This interactive map lets you see draw a circle
of any radius. See the hospitals within any radius of any location
in the U.S.
- Zoom or pan to a location of interest.
- Click the Circle
tool
to enable it.
- Click on the map, enter a radius value, choose the units, and click OK.

What is radius mapping software?
Radius mapping software is a tool that allows users to
create and visualize maps of geographical areas based on a
specified radius or distance from a central point. ZIP Code
radius maps are an excellent way to explore and show market
and trade areas.
You can also create driving radius maps showing the
fastest time rings or the shortest distance rings. Use these
maps to identify how far customers are willing to travel to
your stores or to find locations that are underserved by
emergency services.
Create radius maps around one or more locations and estimate the populations within those radii
Example of radius mapping software
An example of radius mapping software is
Maptitude. You
can use Maptitude to draw a radius on a map or you can use
consulting
services to create custom
radius maps.
Maptitude has a powerful mile radius calculator that you
can use to quickly determine the closest locations to a list
of origins or to determine the travel costs between them (more...).
Maptitude ships with the most accurate ZIP Codes and
street maps available, ensuring that your results enable you
to make vastly improved business decisions than by using spreadsheets alone.

What are the benefits of radius mapping software?
The benefits of radius mapping software are that an
analyst can better understand, analyze, visualize, and
optimize data for business decisions.
Top 5 benefits of radius mapping software
- Understanding spatial patterns and relationships:
Radius mapping software can help users understand the
spatial patterns and relationships between different
locations, such as the distribution of businesses or
population densities within a certain radius of a city
center.
- Analyzing data: Radius mapping software can be used
to analyze data, such as demographics or economic
indicators, within a specific geographical area. This
can be useful for market research, planning, and
decision-making purposes.
- Visualizing data: Radius mapping software can create
visually appealing and easy-to-understand maps that can
help users communicate and present data effectively.
- Planning and decision-making: Radius mapping
software can be used to inform planning and
decision-making by helping users understand the
potential impacts of their actions on a specific area.
- Optimizing routes and logistics: Radius mapping
software can be used to optimize routes and logistics by
identifying the most efficient or cost-effective way to
deliver goods or services to a specific area.

What are the different types of radius maps?
There are three types of radius map:
- A manual radius map draws a radius on a map and exports the
data to Excel
- An automatic radius map
automatically creates a ring map from a location or from
multiple locations such as a list of addresses in an
Excel spreadsheet
- A distance/drive-time radius map
creates a distance radius map for single or concentric
circles for both straight-line and driving distance
Use the Maptitude map radius tool to create ZIP Code radius maps - identify the ZIP Codes and demographics within any radius
A driving radius map can show driving distance or time rings around a location

What are examples of radius maps?
Radius maps show circle-shaped features to indicate the distance from a central point. Examples
include choropleth heat maps, which show the intensity of an area in relation to the distance from the
central point, and population density maps, which show how many people live within a certain radius.

What is a Map Radius Calculator?
A map radius calculator makes it easy to find alternative
service providers, backup field representatives and the nearest
locations. The calculator determines the closest sales
representative to each customer or the closest vendor for each
store. If the nearest location is not available for reasons such as
low inventory or temporary outages, you will quickly be able to
choose the alternate nearest suppliers. The results are provided in
a table format.

What app can I use to draw a radius on a map?
Maptitude allows you to draw a radius on a map. You
can draw a radius around a location, draw a circle
around a point, or draw a circular area around a set of
coordinates. It also allows you to customize the size
and color of your radius and can be used for a variety
of applications such as route planning, boundary
analysis, and market analysis. A variety of options
allow you to:
- create concentric circles
- calculate cumulative demographics for each nested radius
- create a radius around each location
- merge the rings together
The radius analysis can then be exported to:
- Google Maps or Google Earth as KML or KMZ
- ArcGIS in many formats including Shapefile and File Geodatabase
- Excel as a spreadsheet, a
report, an image, or as tabular data
Google Maps has a
feature that allows you to draw a radius on a map. To
use this feature, search for your desired location on Google Maps. Next, select the "More" option from the
menu, and select the "Measure Distance" option. You can
then draw a radius around your desired location.

How to print and measure a radius map
To print and measure a radius map, you will need to follow these steps:
- Determine the center point of your radius map. This can be a specific location or a point on a map.
- Determine the radius of your map. This is the distance from the center point that you want to examine.
- Use a mapping tool or software to create the map. There are many tools
available that allow you to create a radius map, including Maptitude,
Google Maps, MapQuest, and Bing Maps.
- Enter the center point and radius into the mapping tool and customize the map as desired. You can choose different
colors, styles, and labels for your map.
- Once you are satisfied with your map, you can print it by selecting the "Print" option in the mapping tool or by
saving the map as an image file and printing it from another program.
It is also possible to create a radius map manually by drawing it on a blank map or paper. To do this, you will need to
use a ruler or other measuring tool to mark the radius around the center point and draw the map by hand.
