Tools to map a specific distance
The problem, in plain words: “I want an app that lets me input a distance and marks that distance from my current location so I can plan a run.”

Questions
Is there a tool that fully solves this?
Not fully, yet. No listed app clearly lets you enter one distance and auto-mark it from your current location for run planning.
What won't these tools cover?
It measures distances on a map, but it isn’t clearly designed around entering a target distance and auto-marking that exact radius from your current location for run planning. · It’s built around drawing a route and measuring its length, not around entering one distance number and showing a marker for that distance from your current location. · It’s aimed at measuring land/field areas rather than running-route planning from your current location using a single “target distance” input.
