Map Distance Scale?

Hello,

 

Are there any plans to add distance scales to the map visualization feature?

 

As a work around would anyone know a way to create a value that would include all space within say 60 miles from its point of center?

 

An example would be to take a zip code as the point of center and say put a circle with a 60 mile radius around this point. So on the map I would see the or even address as the center, and the complete area of the graphical circle would be a 60 mile radius from that point.

Unfortunately I can't help you as I don't know of any way to do this, but this is something that we definitely need on my end.  Make a suggestion and I'll vote on it as this is a very important function (that and fixing the map so it recognizes zip codes - even assigning a postal code data type doesn't force the filled map to recognize the zips from two of our data bases.).

 

Regards.
