By Andy on 01/07/2009

Its great, but it needs a print or save as button as I want to add to two radius point from one postcode e.g. 10 and 20 mile radius.
By Ruby on 23/06/2009

hi have just taken a measurement off of this site and measured it up to an OS map the OS map is showing seven miles from the horseshoes asfordby as the top end of harby, leicestershire but you own map shos it as just north of hose, leicestershire which one is right if any as i am a membe of a arts league that has a seven mile radius from the horseshoes ,asfordby leicestershire.
By stuart gregory on 12/06/2009

As mentioned before it would be really useful to be able to note the postcode areas within the radius. Been on numerous websites and I cannot find this info.
By Wendy, Glasgow on 11/06/2009

Great tool - thanks! Just one suggestion: a marker to show the centre.
By Andy C on 01/06/2009

Really useful tool, could you also put in mtrs as a distance ?

A brilliant application. So many possibilities. It would be really good to be able to list all postcodes within a radius.
By Dave on 23/05/2009

Excellent Stuff!!! zoom to plot in new window, button. it would answer some of the requests above.
By SirToU on 23/05/2009

if you want to print just press crtl screen print the paste it into paint the crop then save and print EASY when you know how

Would be nice if I could view a map with the postcode markers for each region, and a mileage circle. :)
By Cyburg on 01/05/2009

slightly misleading title.. I was expecting a map with boundaries. HOWEVER - - very neat radius tool. I applaud you!
By James on 28/04/2009

What a great tool to use, quick and easy to use even for a putor dork like me!. A larger window would be good and also multiple radii rings on one map ie 10 miles, 15 miles, 20 miles etc.
By ian on 16/04/2009

Doesn't work, just comes up with Error on Page!

How do I find out all of the postcodes within a radius ?
By Claire on 02/04/2009

Doesn,t work !!!

this is great mate
By zane on 24/03/2009

would be handy to be able to print the map out
By robby on 21/03/2009

NEED TO PRINT THIS PLEASE - WOULD EVEN PAY!
On 03/03/2009

Could you add on similar features like on the radius around a point tool, thicker lines etc
On 02/03/2009

Can this be printed?
On 02/03/2009

Hi, please get in contact to discuss.
By Free Map Tools on 09/12/2008

This is very cool. It is just what I need to put onto a website that I am currently building. I need to show a 15 mile radius for a mobile windscreen repair company so that people visiting their site can see if they are in the area which is covered. Anybody know if the code for this is available in any way?

"When looking at several distances, would be good if fill colour only covered the extended bit. e.g. If a 1-mile radius is in white, my next radius of 3 miles from the point, only fills the extra 2 miles with blue, not the centre." Do them in different colours, but choose the largest radius first
By Pinto on 19/11/2008

Can you make this printable pleeeeeease it's a great tool, but I want to print to A3. :o(
On 05/11/2008

When looking at several distances, would be good if fill colour only covered the extended bit. e.g. If a 1-mile radius is in white, my next radius of 3 miles from the point, only fills the extra 2 miles with blue, not the centre.

I would like to copy and place into a word presentation , but wont allow to copy

"I would love to be able to grap all the postcode numbers within the radius I have defined. By Tim on 08/09/2008" I would love this too.
By Thomas on 17/09/2008

God you lot are sitting on a massive opportunity - did you know that schools in england have started admissions based on distance from school
By Barry on 15/09/2008

Defiantly need to add a print option
By Caroline on 12/09/2008

I would love to be able to grap all the postcode numbers within the radius I have defined.
By Tim on 08/09/2008

Great for calculating the costs of travel for our band.
By Widdershins Ceilidh Band on 27/08/2008

Really cool tool - thank you very much. Only suggestion would be to be able to remove a circle once placed? Thanks
On 27/08/2008

Excellent tool. Could it show radius in travelling time? e.g. I know it takes n hours to get from A to B, but where else in the country could I get to in the same time from the same starting point? Admittedly the end result wouldn't be a smooth circle, but it would be a great tool.
By Craig on 21/08/2008

Thanks for a useful tool - Very helpful for finding out where seller is on Autotrader, who only provide distance from your postcode. But choose 2 postcodes you know, and this pinpoints where the seller is - presumably will work the same for Ebay too.
By Jon on 15/07/2008

re Printing If you use Firefox, install the FireShot extension - it's quick and easy to capture the screen and crop.
By Nick on 14/07/2008

If you could make it so the radius accepts more than 999 miles it would be great, since i'm just short of the edge. xD
By SlothMaster on 02/07/2008

would be handy to be able to print the map out
On 29/06/2008

Any ideas how i can print just the map with the circle on instead of the whole page???
By Richie on 27/06/2008

Great tool, only to find it pointless due to the fact I cannot print it out.
By Richard on 23/06/2008

nick rix, I don't think this would be possible. Even the sheer number of postcodes output would make things very slow.
By Free Map Tools on 17/05/2008

Angela, you should be able to by typing in a new radius while keeping the postcode unchanged and click Plot again. This should plot multiple radii. The new colour choice should also make it look better.
By Free Map Tools on 17/05/2008

be gould if you could have a list of the postcodes in the selection, dont know if this is something google has?
By nick rix on 13/05/2008

fantastic tool! Would be brilliant to plot several bands of distance from a single postcode...useful for people that charge different amounts depending on radial distance from a postcode???? :) :) :)
By Angela on 28/04/2008

Area Covered
By V R Computer Systems on 25/04/2008

would be good to be able to print/change colours and add text
By Caroline on 12/04/2008

An excellent tool, which would be perfect for a project I am doing, IF I could print the results!
By Rob Ashton on 04/04/2008

Could it list all the main post codes covered by the area defined
On 31/03/2008

Very quick and easy to use. Excellent
By Sam on 18/03/2008

I agree, would like to be able to make the plotted area transparent. Also, I'd like to be able to add 2 lines - eg to show both a 5 and 10 mile radius around a single postcode at the same time. Thanks.
On 17/03/2008

Plot needs to be more transparent, can't see areas included very clearly!
By Ryan on 17/03/2008

Excellent, where can I get the code to add this to my own Google maps
