About this app

MapCircle is a simple app that allows you to visualize distances by displaying a map with an overlaid circle or donut of a specified radius.

The circle view is useful when you want to see everything that's less than some specified distance from some location.

The donut view is useful when you know that something is "a mile away" (or some other distance), but aren't sure exactly WHERE it is & want to try and guess its likely location. The donut itself represents the region of uncertainty and margin of error.

Features:

* Distance in Miles and Kilometers

* Easily toggle between regular and hybrid map views (hybrid is aerial/satellite image with overlaid map)

* Two visualization types: circle and donut

Ratings and reviews

Handy little app. Works well and as described. Needs a city search function so you don't have to drag the cursor all over the place.

Map works as the instructions indicate (hold the marker and you can drag it; touch the marker and you can change the circle radius; people aren't reading instructions). I'd like to see nautical miles added to the measurement units.

This app looked promising but no matter what my radius would not appear in a darker shaded circle Pointless to see radius if it won't show you the radius you put in and ( no ) it was not set to negative I tried both ways just to see if it would correct itself. Waste of my time. But others may have better luck.
