Map Tools

How far can I travel? Enter a starting point, mode of transportation (or estimated speed) and how many hours you expect to be on the road. Will draw a map to all possible destinations based on input.

Radius around a point. Similar to above but here you enter a location and distance and a circle will be drawn around the location indicating the range. It’s as the crow flies but still useful to determine how far you can go in a day.

How high will I be? Not what you’re thinking… will provide an elevation estimate by place name or coordinates. Can drag marker around on map too.
