Description
MapCircle is a simple app that allows you to visualize distances by displaying a map with an overlaid circle or donut of a specified radius.
The circle view is useful when you want to see everything that's less than some specified distance from some location.
The donut view is useful when you know that something is "a mile away" (or some other distance), but aren't sure exactly WHERE it is & want to try and guess its likely location. The donut itself represents the region of uncertainty and margin of error.
Features:
* Distance in Miles and Kilometers
* Easily toggle between regular and hybrid map views (hybrid is aerial/satellite image with overlaid map)
* Two visualization types: circle and donut
Recent changes: First official release of MapCircle.

Map works as the instructions indicate (hold the marker, and you can drag it; touch the marker, and you can change the circle radius; people aren't reading instructions). I'd like to see nautical miles added to the measurement units.

Nice simple app. Question, does it use land or air miles as its base unit of measure?
★★★★☆Randall Potter· Jun 27, 2021
Handy little app. Works well and as described. Needs a city search function, so you don't have to drag the cursor all over the place.
★☆☆☆☆Tamara Pedretti· Oct 18, 2020
Useless. Unable to enter a radius for the circle.
★☆☆☆☆Justin Smith· Mar 5, 2019
This app sucks, it doesn't allow you to change the distance of miles for the radius
★☆☆☆☆scialyticsteve· Jun 26, 2020
Totally useless. It doesn't let you enter a radius, so you can't actually do ANYTHING with it. Complete waste of time.
