Territory Radius Rings

The radius rings on Map View are three concentric circles centered on your clinic, drawn at 5, 15, and 30 miles. They exist to help you think about your territory in tiers: who's easy to reach, who's a manageable drive, and who's a stretch.

The Three Rings #

5 mi — The Neighbors

Carriers right in your service neighborhood. Lowest-effort outreach — even a drop-in visit is a 15-minute round trip.

15 mi — The Commuters

Carriers within a comfortable commute. Drivers will gladly come to you for a physical — this is your standard service area.

30 mi — Extended Reach

Carriers worth pursuing for high-volume fleets or HAZMAT specialty work. Higher drive time, higher-value relationships.

Color Coding #

Each ring is drawn in a distinct color so you can tell them apart at a glance. The ring fill is semi-transparent so leads underneath stay visible:
RingStroke / FillDefault state
5 mi (The Neighbors)Green — #4caf50 stroke / rgba(76,175,80,0.12) fillOn
15 mi (The Commuters)Blue — #2196f3 stroke / rgba(33,150,243,0.12) fillOn
30 mi (Extended Reach)Purple — #9c27b0 stroke / rgba(156,39,176,0.12) fillOff

Toggling Rings On and Off #

Each ring has a toggle pill in the Service Areas control row above the map. Click any pill to turn that ring on or off independently — the dot becomes solid when active. The 5 and 15-mile rings start enabled by default; the 30-mile ring starts off.
Toggle persistence

Ring toggles persist while the map is open in your current session. Refreshing the page resets to defaults: 5mi and 15mi on, 30mi off.

Choosing What the Rings Center On #

By default, rings are centered on your primary clinic. If you have multiple clinic locations, the facility selector above the map lets you switch which clinic to center on:
  • Primary clinic — the default, marked with a star in your profile
  • Other clinic locations — switch to any other clinic to see its rings
  • Average of All Leads — centers the map on the geographic center of your pipeline; rings are hidden in this mode (they'd be meaningless around an arbitrary midpoint)
Multi-clinic strategy

If you have two clinic locations 20 miles apart, switching between them shows two different territory pictures. A carrier that's in the Extended Reach (30 mi) of one location might be in The Commuters (15 mi) of the other — route them to whichever clinic is closer.

How Distances Are Computed #

Rings are drawn as true geodesic circles by Google Maps using great-circle math, so the distance is accurate even at high latitudes. The exact radii in meters are:
RingMilesMeters
The Neighbors5 miles8,047
The Commuters15 miles24,140
Extended Reach30 miles48,280
Driving distance vs. straight-line distance

These rings show straight-line distance — as the crow flies. Actual driving distance is usually 1.2–1.4x longer in urban areas. A carrier at the edge of your 15-mile ring might be a 20-25 minute drive in real traffic.

Practical Uses #

  • Drop-in days: turn off the 30-mile ring and pick all the leads inside the 5-mile ring — a single visit day's work
  • Service-radius decisions: if you're deciding whether to take a carrier, see which ring they fall in
  • Marketing focus: turn on only the 30-mile ring to see your maximum theoretical reach — carriers outside it probably aren't worth the drive
  • Clinic planning: if you're considering a second clinic, the rings make it obvious where coverage gaps are
