## Description

Radius Map is a Chrome extension that helps you confirm distances from places on the map. It records a location and the distance, making it easy to compare nearby amenities at a glance.

Use cases include real estate searches by measuring meters from libraries, schools, grocery stores, and other points of interest. It’s also useful for choosing a place to live and for planning marathon routes. If you have other ideas or want to add features, contact us to share them!

## Review summary

Users largely value the core radius visualization and location awareness, but frequent issues undermine the app: inconsistent or locked distance units (meters vs miles), post-update instability, and a lack of instructions or clear UI guidance for placing or adjusting the radius. The result is a frustrating experience where the basic feature works in theory but is hard to use in practice.

### Pros

- Provides a radius visualization on a map around a location and shows your position relative to the radius.
- The basic radius functionality works for showing distance from a point.
- It can auto-detect your location to place the radius (when the feature works).

### Cons

- Units are not reliably configurable; reviews repeatedly note meters vs miles are locked or inconsistently applied.
- Upgrading the app introduces bugs and can render it unusable (e.g., location arrow spins or core features fail).
- There is a lack of instructions or guidance on how to use the app, making it unclear how to set or adjust the radius.
- Setting the radius is hard/unclear, with conflicting or confusing unit handling and distance entry.
