I,m wondering if there is an app or software that will allow me to say I want to travel a certain amount miles from my present location? This would make finding sites to stop much easierSAR Tracker wrote:
Just use Google Maps!
How does Google maps calculate miles without entering a city or destination?
The OP just wants to enter miles to see where they end up.
I too being trying and haven't figure that out and always wonder if it's possible?
I use google maps all the time. Move your cursor to your start point then do a right mouse click. On the pull down menu, select "Measure Distance". Then, move your mouse some distance in the direction you want to travel (doesn't have to be anyplace in particular), do another right mouse click, then select "Distance to Here". This will give you a measured ruler. You can drag the end out or in to adjust the distance you want to measure. You can also "left mouse click" again and it will give you another leg to measure.
Play around with it and you might find it useful in planning.
Thanks didn't know about that, still not exactly what the OP wanted but close enough.
