This has been reported to its creator, but no news as yet. There are a couple of other tools that should do this: http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/kml_circles.html Explan |
| Re: Circle generator (not a quiz) | Gregg1956 | 9/13/10 11:58 AM | I tried the second one, freemaptools, and it worked well.

| Re: Circle generator (not a quiz) | kite_surfer | 9/14/10 10:37 PM | I never used the old circle generator as an actual tool, except for an occasional puzzle. So to be used in a game, the Freemaptools is the odd one out, for it can only create a polygon in GE and no open circle even if you have selected the 'clear' op |

| Re: Circle generator (not a quiz) | BridgePlayer | 11/17/11 10:02 AM | It seems to work fine. I used it here with radius=220m : Edit: I just found a downloadable program which creates .kml files for circles.
