This page is a curated hub of our most-used radius tools, organized by how far you want to travel. People use radius maps to plan commutes, day trips, delivery zones, and weekend getaways without guessing what is reachable. They are also useful for estimating how far a team, event, or service area can realistically cover. Each radius page draws a straight-line great-circle ring from your starting point, which is the shortest distance over the Earth's surface. That means the circle is not driving distance and does not follow roads. Use this hub to pick a distance range, then open the specific radius page to visualize your reach and compare options quickly.
Local radii (10-100 miles)
Local rings are ideal for commuting, day trips, and short outings where you can leave and return the same day. They help compare nearby cities, parks, airports, and service areas without overcommitting time.
Regional radii (250-800 miles)
Regional ranges cover multi-city trips, weekend travel, and broader coverage areas for events or logistics. These distances often mark the decision point between a long drive and a short flight.
Long-range radii (1000+ miles)
Long-range rings are best for flight planning and big-picture geography. They show how far you can reach across regions or continents and help compare major hubs.
Radius Map FAQ
What is a radius map?
A radius map shows everything within a fixed distance from a starting point, drawn as a circle on the globe.
Is this driving distance?
No. These circles show straight-line great-circle distance. Driving distance usually takes longer and follows roads.
How do I use this page?
Choose the distance range that fits your trip or project, then open a specific radius page to see the map and time estimates.
01
New York (USA) ↔ London (UK)
3,461 Miles (5,570 km) - Flight: ~6h 17m

5,145 Miles (8,280 km) - Flight: ~9h 21m
Despite the distance, these two Pacific powers share a deep history of trade and culture.
06
Christ the Redeemer (Rio) ↔ Colosseum (Rome)
5,710 Miles (9,189 km) - Flight: ~10h 23m

10
Moscow (Russia) ↔ Washington D.C. (USA)
4,853 Miles (7,810 km) - Flight: ~8h 49m
