Need the postcodes with the Radius - otherwise its pointless
By Helen, London on 25/01/2010
Useful, but would be very helpful to list the postcodes in the area - just the outer bit - CB1, CB2, CB3 etc

Ijust pressed print on my toolbar and it printed OK for me
By Jo Houghton on 11/01/2010
was hoping to plot a radius of 1800 miles, but appears to be limited to 999?
however great tool, as the actress said to the bishop

Very helpful, to be able to print would be extremely helpful!!
By Sue on 14/12/2009
Great idea - need to print please
By Jakz58 on 11/12/2009
As per previous comments, what I need to do is see the first two letters of the postcode that fall within the radius. That would be fab.
On 04/12/2009
This is a great tool thanks!!! Any chance you could display the individual postcodes within the search area though? that would be amazing.
By Phill Gorman on 25/11/2009
Is it possible to plot two points on the map and see what the distance is between them in miles. Thanks

NEED TO SEE POST CODES CONTAINED IN RADIUS PLEASE
By liz barnes on 18/11/2009
Very useful, can we get distance in metric units as well please!

V useful, is it permissible to use the resultant image on a web page, to show delivery areas, say.
Also for those who want a print, use the Snipping tool in Vista, copy and save, then print.
By john gbb on 30/10/2009
Genius, with some kind of api access, this would be incredibly useful!
By Jim on 22/10/2009
BOOM BOOM CHA!
By SPACE GUY12 on 11/10/2009
Fantastic, but like others, I would like to see a list of postcodes within the desgnated radius.
By Rob Winder on 05/10/2009
would be more use if i can find the postcodes within the plotted area
By Cara on 21/09/2009
How do I zoom on the map?
On 08/09/2009
Hi, There is no option to Print???
On 02/09/2009
Would like to view Postcodes contained within radius. Regards, Gary

A fantastic tool! Just what I was looking for! Had trouble printing too but if you do a screen shot (CTRL PRTSC) you can copy it into a document and do a print from that. No prob!
Would like to be able to have a more detailed close up though (without cutting off some of the area I'm wanting to plot).

Super duper for client searches (commercial property acquisition)

great tool
I love you guys
By kevin c on 26/08/2009
Great! but would also like to know the beginning of the postcodes inside this area too
By Louise on 18/08/2009
Great tool, but please make it printable.
Would also be useful to be able to have a bigger map area- I've used this for a 60 mile radius from central london, and the dimensions of the box don't allow me to see the entire circle at the scale I need.
By Jim on 12/08/2009
A radius which incorporates road miles vice as the crow flies, would be an asset to our company. EG. Plot 5 road mile travel radius.
