really useful for planning my prospecting. Yes it would have been great to be able to print it off to put on the wall!

Drivetimes as an alternative to distance would be good.

Could be improved by showing the postcode boundaries on the map to establish which postcodes are within a specified radius

Very useful but it would be nice if the map could be enlarged and a possible print feature, like Google Maps. Any chance of sorting this?? Cheers.

HOW ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DEFINE CENTRE OF CIRCLE BY TOUCHING A POINT ON THE MAP, INSTEAD OF JUST A POST CODE. tHEN THE TOOL COULD BE USED WORLDWIDE

I like this, would be perfect to add to my site as a postcode radius search.. is there any code I can use on my site?

Great tool!

Very useful. As an improvement/separate tool I would love to be able to enter "time to cummute" and then the map returns an area output (highlight on map/list of post codes) within a given postcode

Why is it limited to a 3 figure distance? that's VERY limiting if you want a world wide search
By David on 09/07/2010
would love to link this to my goldmine crm system

love this tool, however, there doesn't seem to be the option to change border colours on the uk only version. Also would be nice to see a feature to "name" the plots.
Any suggestions on how to get a good copy print out (large, A2 or A1)would be most appreciated.

great stuff

Would be even more marvelous a tool if you could save each map you created so as to manipulate with another programme such as to type text in areas etc.
By Liam, manchester, uk on 03/06/2010
Alan, unfortunately you cannot do that right now.
By Free Map Tools on 19/05/2010
Can we save various scenarios of radii as separate maps which we can call up and add to whenever we wish?
Thank you

Fantastic tool. especially the speed selection and minutes readout. 6 days ride from Calais to Volgograd @ 70kmh average riding 12 hours a day.
Cheers guys A
