Draw a Radius Circle on a Map - Free Radius Tool
Visualise catchment areas, delivery zones and travel distances. Draw multiple circles and export to KML.
Draw one or more radius circles on an interactive UK map to visualise distances from any point. This tool is commonly used by businesses to define delivery zones, by parents checking school catchment distances, and by estate agents mapping property areas. You can upload a CSV of locations to see which ones fall inside or outside your radius. Export your circles as KML for Google Earth or GPX for GPS devices, and save projects to pick up where you left off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a radius map used for?
Common uses include defining delivery zones, checking school catchment areas, planning service coverage, and estimating commute distances. Businesses also use radius maps to divide sales territories and identify gaps in distribution networks.
Can I draw more than one circle?
Yes, you can draw as many circles as you need. Each circle is independent and can have a different radius. This is useful for comparing coverage from multiple locations or visualising overlapping service areas.
What does the CSV upload do?
If you upload a CSV file with postcodes or coordinates, the tool will show which locations fall inside or outside your drawn circles. This is useful for checking customer coverage or filtering a mailing list by distance.
What formats can I export?
You can export circles as KML (for Google Earth) or GPX (for GPS devices). You can also export a CSV of points that fall inside your circles.
Is the radius straight-line or by road?
The radius is a straight-line (as the crow flies) distance. Actual travel distance by road will be longer. As a rough guide, road distance is typically 20-40% further than straight-line distance.
