MapDevelopers Alternative — Modern Radius Maps with KML Export

MapDevelopers (mapdevelopers.com) is a long-running suite of free web tools for mapping, geocoding, and distance calculation. The Draw Circle Tool is one of its most-used utilities, offering quick radius circle drawing on a Google Maps base with address search, multiple circles, drag-to-reposition, and custom colors. The site is long-running and aimed at casual web users.

MapDevelopers is free and requires no account. The site displays ads on the tool page. There is no paid tier, no trial, and no signup flow. The tool runs on the Google Maps JavaScript API, which means it depends on Google's terms of service and API availability.

Map With Radius exports KML and PNG for free. MapDevelopers does not export in either format, so anyone who needs to load their radius into Google Earth, a GIS tool, or a document has to screenshot or recreate the shape elsewhere.

We run on OpenStreetMap via Leaflet, not Google Maps. That matters for anyone embedding the tool into their own site — no Google API key, no quota, no per-load billing.

Our tool is designed mobile-first. MapDevelopers works on mobile, but the controls are cramped and the interaction patterns assume a cursor. Drawing a radius on a phone is smoother on Map With Radius.

MapDevelopers is simple, fast, and established. If you need the Google Maps visual style — satellite view, specific POI labels, Street View integration — MapDevelopers delivers it. It also pairs well with other MapDevelopers utilities if you are already mid-workflow on their site for geocoding, distance calculation, or zip-code lookup.
