Can you picture how far "a 10-min walk" really is? MapRings draws your familiar distances as circles on any map. Perfect for travel, apartment hunting, and running routes
"A 10-minute walk from the station" — can you actually picture how far that is?
MapRings turns the distances you already know by heart into circles on a map,
so you can instantly judge how far things really are — even in a city
you've never visited.
■ Sound familiar?
- "The hotel looked close to the sights... it wasn't."
- Apartment listings say "15 min walk" but you can't picture it
- You stare at a map with no idea if a place is walkable
With MapRings, you save a distance you know well — like home to the station —
and reuse it as your personal ruler, anywhere in the world.
■ Three simple steps
1. Pick two locations and save the distance between them
(search by name, or drop a pin right on the map)
2. Long-press anywhere on the map to place a pin
3. Your saved distances appear as circles — instantly see what's in reach
■ Features
- Distance presets: save as many named distances as you like
- Multiple circles at once: compare distances with color-coded rings
- Search & history: your frequent places are one tap away
- Pick points directly on the map: just center the pin and set
- Current location support: draw circles around wherever you are
- Satellite view available
■ Perfect for
- Trip planning: check how far your hotel really is from the sights
- Apartment hunting: get a realistic feel for "close to the station"
- Running & walking: find new routes that match your usual course
- Meeting up: instantly see what's within walking distance
Walk a new city with the distances you already know.
