I’m trying to find a map where I can pick a location (say, my house) and then pick a distance (say 10 miles\*) and it will do something to show me everything within 10 miles of my house. Either shade it in or circle it or something like that. I know I can make something like it on photoshop, but it’s kind of a one off thing and I’m hoping I can just find an interactive one online.
\*as the crow flies, so we just have a big circle around the center point.

Try [this.](http://maps.forum.nu/gm_clickable_circle.html) Some guy has done some playing around with Google Maps and developed pretty much what you’re looking for.
