Circles and Maps

[AggieMike88]

When Runway Finder was online, one of the features I liked was the ability to have it draw a circle with a specified radius on the chart I was viewing.

Something like KDTO:30 would draw a 30nm circle centered on KDTO.

What other existing product out there mimics this feature?

avnwx.com can do that, but it's backwards from what you want, presuming you're looking for cross-country destinations.

And there is always one of these:

No circle but...tap the screen on Foreflight and it shows me 4-8 nearest airports anywhere from 10-20 nm away. Same with my G430W or 496 NRST function. I still keep expired sectionals just for the big picture and redundancy on trips. Add a compass like above and you are set.

i miss that functionality too in an online tool

Www.gcmap.com does it, but I have not been able to show any other landmarks other than what is at the center of the circle, which limits its usefulness.

You should see the old computer screens I used to have before I discovered the backspace key.

Couldn't see anything after a few weeks of use due to all the white out I used.

http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm is a little better. Not aviation-specific but can give you good ideas of places to visit.
