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???? :) :) :)

An excellent tool, which would be perfect for a project I am doing, IF I could print the results!

Very quick and easy to use. Excellent

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.

Plot needs to be more transparent, can't see areas included very clearly!

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