ServiceAreaMaps.com is a free tool that lets small businesses create and embed customizable service area maps on their websites. Without using Google Maps or API keys, users can highlight a radius from any address to show where they work — helping pre-qualify leads and improve customer clarity.
Madison, WI - June 12, 2025 - A new tool, ServiceAreaMaps.com, is helping small businesses clearly show the areas they serve — without needing Google Maps. Built by web developer Tony Herman, the free service lets users generate customizable service area maps they can embed directly on their websites.
'We have a lot of website design clients who don't serve everyone,' says Herman. 'They work within a 30- or 60-mile radius. By adding a service area map to their site, they can pre-qualify leads and cut down on bad inquiries. This tool makes that easy.'
Unlike Google Maps, which doesn't allow simple radius overlays or region highlighting without using complex APIs or paid accounts, ServiceAreaMaps.com uses open-source tools like Leaflet.js and OpenStreetMap. No accounts, no API keys, and no cost.
Key Features:
The site can easily be used by contractors, cleaning services, HVAC companies, mobile detailers, and others who want to clearly communicate where they do business.
'This fills a gap that Google Maps just doesn't cover,' Herman adds. 'You can't draw a simple radius around a location without jumping through hoops. And taking a screen shot of some maps violates their terms. We made it dead simple.'

You Can Tell When War Is Breaking Out Because the Pentagon's Pizza Orders Spike Drastically
A flurry of activity at pizza delivery outlets near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, is a surprisingly accurate predictor of war, as hungry military leadership hunkers down to monitor unfolding military activities. As painstakingly documented by X account Pentagon Pizza Report, a "busier than usual" indicator on the Google Maps profile of the Domino's in Arlington has been associated with major acts of war taking place around the world. Most recently, the franchise received an onslaught of orders just before closing last night — almost perfectly coinciding with Israel's devastating attack on Iran. Even long before the advent of live, GPS-based customer tracking on Google Maps, famished Pentagon workers have long given away that there's something much darker going on by ordering copious numbers of pies. "The Pentagon Pizza Index has been a surprisingly reliable predictor of seismic global events — from coups to wars — since the 1980s," The Economist's head of data journalism Alex Selby-Boothroyd wrote in a LinkedIn post. "On the night of August 1st 1990, for example, the CIA ordered 21 pizzas in a single night just before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (a new record)," he added. "Who says pie charts aren't useful?" And it's not just Domino's. As Euronews reported last week, the Papa John's close to the Pentagon has also been found to be "busier than usual" during the days leading up to Iran launching drones into Israeli territory in April 2024. A separate event chronicled by Pentagon Pizza Report also predicted military activity on June 1, followed just hours later by an escalation between Israel and Iran. Of course, making any definitive statements about any correlation would be foolish. But it's an intriguing sign that even the most secretive parts of the US government can easily show their cards without meaning to. "Bottom line for journalists," Wolf Blitzer told CNN in 1990. "Always monitor the pizzas." More on pizza: Chef Admits His Smash Hit Pizza Was Invented by ChatGPT

Preparing for a Summer Road Trip? Download Google Maps Offline for Stress-Free Navigation
Summertime is in the air, and it's the perfect season to get away for a weekend. Whether you're preparing for your next road trip or popping down to the beach to soak up some sun, chances are you'll be driving to get there. Google Maps makes it easy for you to get where you're going while avoiding roadwork or bumper-to-bumper traffic along the way. Turn-by-turn directions ensure you never get lost, even when you're driving in an unfamiliar area. However, if your trip takes you through remote regions, you may not have internet access, which can cause issues. Without a net connection, Google Maps can't help you reroute, recover from a wrong turn or find a gas station. You're stuck with whatever directions you started with. Luckily, there's a smart work-around: You can plan ahead and download your map for offline use. With offline maps, you can still access turn-by-turn navigation even when you're completely disconnected. Here's how to make sure you're never lost, even without service. Want to learn about other Google Maps tips and tricks? Check out how to blur your house on Google Maps, and take a look at these three Google Maps features you'll definitely want to be aware of. Now Playing: How to Use Google Maps Like a Pro 09:29 How to download Google Maps offline First off, you won't download all of Google Maps in its entirety. Instead, before your trip, you'll want to download a specific area, which could be a city, county or region where you'll be spending time and might not have service on your phone. To download a map in Google Maps offline, open the Google Maps app on iOS or Android and tap your profile picture on the top right (you must be logged in to your Google account for this to work). In the menu that appears, tap Offline maps > Select Your Own Map. You can download multiple Google Maps areas offline. Screenshots by Nelson Aguilar/CNET Use your fingers to place the map you want to download within the confines of the rectangle border. Use one finger to move across the map, and a two-finger pinch to zoom in and out. As you move around the map, you'll see how much storage space the download will take up on your phone. Once you're happy with the area, tap Download. Note: Alternatively, you can type a city or other area into Google Maps and then hit the Download button that appears in the pull-up window to download the map offline but this only works on the iPhone. Read more: Google Maps Cheat Sheet: Most Useful Tricks You must be connected to Wi-Fi to download the map. If you want to download over cellular, go to the Offline maps page, tap the gear icon on the top right, tap When to download offline maps and select Over Wi-Fi or mobile network. Once your map is downloaded, you'll be sent back to the Offline maps page, where you can see all your offline maps. You can only download a map that's a maximum 250MB (what will appear in the selected map is roughly the size of Maine). Screenshots by Nelson Aguilar/CNET Now you'll be able to use Google Maps even when you're offline in the area you downloaded -- and in that area only. You won't get extremely accurate travel times or alternate route options because traffic and other road issues are not accounted for but you will get a general ballpark idea of how long your trip should take. Transit, bicycling and walking directions also are not available offline -- only driving directions. You'll know you're using your offline map when you see a little cloud icon with a line through it in Google Maps.
