Frequently Asked Questions
How does the radius search work?
Select a center city and radius distance. Our tool draws a circle on the map and finds cities within radius of your point, sorted by population for easy exploration.
What is a distance radius map?
A distance radius map is a visualization tool that shows all locations within a specific distance from a central point. It draws a circle (or radius) on the map and identifies all cities, towns, or addresses that fall within that geographic boundary. This is useful for proximity searches, service area planning, and spatial analysis.
What distance units are supported?
You can choose kilometers (km), miles (mi), or nautical miles (nm). Use the preset buttons or enter any custom radius value.
How accurate is the distance calculation?
Our tool uses the great-circle distance formula (haversine formula) to calculate distances along the Earth's surface. This provides highly accurate straight-line distances between cities. Note that actual travel distances may vary due to roads, terrain, and other factors.
How many cities are in your database?
Our database includes over 33,000 cities worldwide with populations of 15,000 or more, sourced from GeoNames.
Can I use this tool for business planning?
Yes! Many businesses use radius search tools for territory planning, delivery area definition, competitor analysis, and market research. You can identify all cities within your service area, analyze population density, and plan expansion strategies.
Can I share my search results?
Yes! The URL updates automatically with your search parameters. Simply copy the URL to share your exact search with others.
Does it work for any country?
Yes, our database covers cities worldwide from all countries and continents. Whether you're searching in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, or Oceania, you'll find comprehensive city coverage.
Is the radius tool mobile-friendly?
Absolutely! The tool is fully responsive and works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. You can search for cities, adjust the radius, and view the interactive map on any screen size.
Is there a limit to the radius I can search?
You can search with any radius up to 20,000 km (approximately half the Earth's circumference). For most practical purposes, searches under 2,000 km provide the most useful and manageable results.
