Drawing an as-the-crow-flies area

With smappen, you can draw as-the-crow-flies / circle areas very easily and free of charge. These areas show everything within a certain distance of a given point as the crow flies. They are circles generated using a set radius and are ideal for optimizing your delivery zones.
