Isochrone Map Maker — Travel-Time Maps in Minutes
Show what's actually reachable, not what's nearby as the crow flies. Draw travel-time or travel-distance bands for walking, cycling, driving, or public transit — no code required.
Free to start. No credit card required.
Straight-line distance is a poor guide to how far away something really is. A site 400 metres away across a motorway with no crossing is further, in every way that matters, than one 900 metres down a footpath. An isochrone map measures reach along the real network instead.
Place up to 5 origin points, pick a travel mode, set your time or distance bands, and Mapji draws the catchment. Use it for site selection, service areas, accessibility studies, and coverage analysis — then publish it to your own domain or embed it on your site.
Time or distance bands
Draw isochrones by travel time, or isodistance bands by distance travelled along the network.
Four travel modes
Walking, cycling, driving, and public transit — each producing a genuinely different catchment shape.
Up to 5 origins
Compare a shortlist of candidate sites, or show combined coverage from several depots on one map.
Publish & embed
Put the finished catchment on your own domain, or embed it in a report or listing page.
How it works

Drop up to 5 starting points, each with its own name and description.
Set mode and ranges
Pick walk, bike, car, or transit, then choose time or distance bands.
Style & publish
Apply a theme, then publish to your domain or embed the map.

Frequently asked questions
How many starting points can one isochrone map have?
Up to 5. Each carries its own name, description, and icon, so a single map can compare several candidate sites or show combined coverage from multiple depots.
Which travel modes can I analyse?
Walking, cycling, driving, and public transit. The shapes differ substantially — a transit catchment often arrives as disconnected islands around stops, while a driving one stretches along fast roads.
Do isochrones account for traffic?
Travel times come from a road network model rather than live traffic, so treat a drive-time band as a good planning estimate rather than a promise for a specific hour of the day.
Can I show a delivery or service area with this?
Yes — that's one of the most common uses. A travel-time band is a far more honest service-area map than a hand-drawn radius, because it reflects roads, rivers, and barriers rather than assuming everything within a circle is reachable.
