    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Based on my test, we can take the following steps to meet your requirement.

     

    1. Enter the data you shared and create a ArcGIS map, and edit the map. Then we can set the radius from all the selected points as the picture below.

     

     


    2. Then we can get the result as below.

     

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

    Now, what if you want to do 500 mi radius? Unfortunately, the limit is 100 miles. I'm not sure why. I currently have a need to show a 500 mile radius and can only show 100 miles.

    Also, the drive time feature is REALLY cool. It shows a polygonal shape around your selected point(s) indicating how far you would get if you drove x minutes. Unfortunately, this is only limited to 30 minutes! Again, I'm not sure why there is such a small limitation.

      Click the three little dots in the upper right of the map visual, then click "Edit". It will open up the map with those extra configuration buttons at the top.
