Google-maps – search by range in Google Maps (or in another map service)

google maps

I'm interested in determining an area that is reachable with maximum (e.g.) 30 minutes by car from a given point. This is not a circle with a given radius. Can I do this search in Google Maps or in another map service somewhere?

Best Answer

You can't search by a distance, all you can do in Google maps is "Search Nearby".

Follow these instructions to do this:

  1. Open the new Google Maps.
  2. Search for a location. For example: your work address.
  3. Click the search box once.
  4. Click Search nearby.
  5. Type the category of places you want to search. For example: "coffee shops."
  6. Hit Enter.
