We are working on a new implementation of map visualizations and are not planning to add any new features to the existing implementation. We will take this suggestion under consideration for the new app. |

Similar to #7572, it'd be rad if a user could pick a map and then a point and drag from there to a distance to build geo distance/geo range type vizs.
Having a text box you could type the distance from the point you pick, or the ranges from the point, would be great too.
