A list of more popular map tools that are available for you to use for free. There is a more comprehensive list of map tools and resources here.
Radius Around Point

The Radius Around Point tool lets you draw a circle of a chosen radius around any location on a map. You can enter an address, coordinates, or click directly on the map. The radius can be set in kilometers or miles, and the circle updates instantly. This tool is great for tasks like planning delivery zones, estimating travel distances, or analyzing coverage areas. You can also export the data, share the map, and adjust the radius as needed. It's simple to use and works well on both desktop and mobile devices.
Measure Distance

The Measure Distance tool allows users to calculate the distance between two or more points on a map. Simply click to set start and end locations, or continue clicking to measure a route with multiple segments. The tool displays the total distance in kilometers, miles, or nautical miles. It's ideal for planning walking, running, cycling, or driving routes, as well as measuring straight-line distances. Users can reset the map, undo points, and share or export the results. The interface is easy to use and works across desktop and mobile devices for convenient, on-the-go measurements.
How Far is it Between

The How Far Is It Between tool calculates the distance between two locations anywhere in the world. Users can enter place names, addresses, or coordinates, and the tool will display the straight-line distance ("as the crow flies") between them. It shows results in kilometers, miles, and nautical miles. A map visually plots the route, helping users better understand the distance and relative position. This tool is useful for travel planning, geographic comparisons, and general curiosity. It's simple to use, with a clean interface that works on both desktop and mobile devices.
Area Calculator

The Area Calculator Tool enables users to measure the area of any region by drawing directly on a map. You can click to set points and outline a shape, and the tool calculates the enclosed area in square meters, kilometers, feet, miles, and acres. It's ideal for estimating land size, planning construction projects, or checking property boundaries. Users can edit points, reset the shape, or export the data for further use. The intuitive interface works well on both desktop and mobile devices, making it accessible for professionals and casual users alike

How about maps with an ai search, e.g. "Where in the u.s.a was skateboarding popular in 1970?" That would be AWESOME!
cool map cheers mate
Awesome!!!
Very cool. Thanks! --from the UK
Good maps. Thx
Awesome map I use for genealogy, this is the best! Small fix, you have to add the distance before you type the location or the screen keyboard covers the input field for the location.
not able to use the map
The website has not night theme, the light of screen is so hard to eyes.
Invaluable for planning RV trips !
