  • Draft Logic: Google Maps Area Calculator Tool
    This tool allows you to use Google Maps to define an area and then find out the measurement of the enclosed area. You can also generate a KML file from the input data.

  • Radius around a point on a map
    E.g., draw a circle of 36 km radius around downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia as in My Map. It can be exported as a KML file as well. A little fussy to use, but it is workable.
