Draw a circle making the radius adjust to the spherical Earth

Note: In cases where the map’s zoom-level is 5 or lower, a perfectly round circle may not accurately represent the area or distances on the Earth.
For improved accuracy in terms of radius, you can select the "Projection Accurate" option.
  1. Zoom out the map to zoom-level 5 or lower.
    The map’s Zoom level is located in the center of the map’s footer.
    To zoom-out, there are 2 options:
    Option 1
    In the top-right corner of the Map View, click the:
    Zoom-out button, "-".
     
    Option 2
    Use the scroll wheel on your mouse.
    For Windows
    Scroll backwards to zoom-out.
    For Mac
    Scroll forwards to zoom-out.
     
  2. Select the "Circle Tool" in the top toolbar.
    Quick Key: Or you can press the "O" button on your keyboard.
    Note: In the left-side of the Map View, click to add a check to the "Projection Accurate" checkbox.
     
  3. Draw the circle.
