Map App AskMecha? I'm looking for a tool[More:] More specifically, a tool that will let me input a city or zip code and a radius in miles from that city or zip and then will give me a free map of the area encompassed by that radius.

The end result would look something like this, but free-er than $78.95. I just know that somebody on here knows what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction. I thought for sure Google Maps would have something like this, but I can't find it.

By way of explanation, a tool like this would have been mighty useful when I was considering the feasability of a relocation clause for my client this morning, and was wondering what "not permitted to relocate more than 25 miles outside NYC" would look like graphically.

Thanks for any input.
If you want to go all-out, you could look for a torrent of ARC GIS or some similar GIS software. Of course, you'd also need data for it. Microsoft Streets and Trips might be a good program for your needs.
