Currently, our route planner doesn’t include a feature to draw a circles. We’d love to hear more about your use case - sharing your goals helps us prioritize this idea for future updates.

For now, a workaround may be to use [Google MyMaps](https://www.google.com/maps/d/), which has some features to customize maps. Here’s how:

1. Create your route in our planner
2. Export it as a KML file
3. Import the KML into Google MyMaps
4. Use the “Draw a line or shape” tool
