Paste a list of addresses in to the text box below, one per line. There is a limit of 30 addresses, anymore will be ignored.

How to use the Measure Distance From Central Point To Many Tool

(1) Upload the list of addresses to plot. There is a limit of 30 addresses. For example:

Belfast
Paris, France
London
Glasgow

You can also add text to each marker plotted by wrapping the address and text in double quotes and separating with a comma. For example:

"Belfast","Population of 333,000"
"Paris, France"," France's capital, is a major European city"
"London","Now only the capital of the United Kingdom, London was once the capital city of 6 countries at the same time!"
"Glasgow","The fourth-largest city by population in the UK"

(2) Click the button [Upload Address List]

(3) Then either click on the map or type the address of the mid-point and click the [Search] button

You can toggle between miles / km / nautical miles / yards to measure distances in your preferred units. The Autopan option will move the map as you upload the addresses.

The Search For Location text box allows you to quickly get to an area you wish without spending time zooming and panning to find it. For example if you wish to find the city of Rome in Italy, type "Rome, Italy" and then click Search. The map will then go straight to Rome. Note the "[city][comma][space][county]" format.

The [Reset] button will clear all points and allow you to start measuring a distance again.

[Zoom To Fit] will zoom and pan the map to get the best fit of all your points on as large a zoom as possible.

The [Toggle Markers] button will show or hide the markers if they get in the way.

Another +1 to being willing to pay to use this, even if I could only use latitude/longitude values. Is there any way I could get the code and then pay for Geocoding on an individual license?

Sorry to see this tool not supported anymore. I was using it to show my radio contacts.

Thank you for investigating, can i just check back to this site from time to time to see the updates? Or another place? Thank you!!
By Casey on 6th November 2018

Casey, appreciate the comments. We are investigating options.

Anywhere i can find this tool to use, I will be willing to pay to download it? I use weekly for my job and cannot find another site that does this.

Thank you for building this and sharing it with everyone. I've run into some integrity issues with the data, when I put in the same 7 zip codes four times each and upload them together. They have different distances from the point of origin. The distances seem to be offset by one when compared to the prior iteration. Then, at the end, it cuts off some of the zip codes. 93560 93436 93252 91753 90251 92681 93103

This is fantastic! It took me so long just trying to find a site or app or some kind of tool like this. It%u2019s so helpful! I was trying to figure out which venue was closest to me on a musician%u2019s tour before buying a ticket and this just worked beautifully! No more having to use google maps and then write down each one to compare; from now on i%u2019ll Just come here!

30 places is too little you need to allow at least 200

This site saved my hyde today. I saved an incredible amount of time in my work research with this site and I am so grateful for this HELPFUL FREE INTERNET TOOL! You are awesome

It is the straight line (crow flies) distance. Driving distance has more complications but we will look in to enabling it.
By Free Map Tools on 23rd January 2018

Are these distances DRIVING distance? It appears that it's calculated as the crow flies, and not driving mileage. Can it be drive miles?
On 23rd January 2018

Super useful, thank you!
