  • What is a good web site for a 20-mile (selectable distance) circle from

    From Frankie@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 16 02:11:37 2023

    The best I can find is this map & selectable circle... https://www.abcsupply.com/locations/

    It's not intended to be a specific circle around a given location which is
    why I ask if you know of a good site to specify any USA zip code and then a distance in miles and it will draw that radius circle on a map for you.

    I'm constantly trying to find home-repair parts and materials where I'm new
    to the area and therefore it would be nice to be able to have this map
    circle.

    What map circle web sites do you know of that can do that for me?

    You didn't say whether you were using a phone but since you put the Windows group on for your home repair parts, you're probably using Windows Firefox.

    For that, you can try this map which will draw a series of circles for you.

    But given your need is universal, there are probably better circle sites.

    Probably not quite what you want but go to maps.google.com and search for
    the area you are interested in. Center the area.

    Right click with the cursor at the selected point and pick 'Measure
    Distance' from the menu. That will put a point on the map. Click anyplace
    else and you will have another point. Drag it until the scale shows 20
    miles or the popup shows a total distance of 20 miles.

    Drag the point around in a circle trying to stay close to 20 miles. It's
    not going to draw a circle on the map but you can get a good idea of what
    is within a 20 mile radius.
