Circle for Google Maps / Draw a circle on Google Maps.

Right-click anywhere on the map to specify a location, then intuitively display a circle with your chosen radius (e.g., 500m, 2km). By visualizing distances, it's ideal for understanding geographic boundaries—perfect for trade area analysis, area survey strategies, and more. Due to specification changes in Google Maps, circles may occasionally fail to render. In such cases, we are already working on a fix and waiting for review. Thank you for your patience. Key Features ✔ Easy Drawing: Right-click anywhere on the map and select "Draw Circle" to create a circle instantly. ✔ Multiple Circles: Draw multiple circles to compare different areas with ease. ✔ Precise & Persistent: Circles maintain their scale when zooming.

Use Cases Service & Sales Area Visualization Clearly define service boundaries for delivery, business trips, or door-to-door sales. Example: Visualize a "Free Delivery Zone" within 5km of your shop. Site & Trade Area Analysis Analyze locations relative to competitors and customer distribution for new store openings. Example: Evaluate commuter inflow by marking walking distances (1km, 2km) from major stations. Event & Marketing Planning Define target areas for promotions based on the expected travel range of attendees. Example: Distribute flyers within a 3km radius of a fireworks festival venue. Real Estate & Location Marketing Visually present "walking distance from station" or proximity to local amenities. Example: Show that supermarkets, schools, and hospitals are within 800m of a property. Education & Research Geographically categorize school districts or survey areas. Example: Create materials showing the impact radius of observation points for biological surveys or regional studies. Disaster Prevention & Safety Planning Visualize impact zones from hazardous facilities (chemical plants, rivers, fault lines). Example: Plan supplies by estimating the population within 500m of a designated evacuation center. ==== Latest Update 0.1.15 ==== The minimum unit for changing the size of a circle has been changed from 100 meters to 50 meters.
