Description

Great job! Thank you for creating this super handy widget.

Feature Request: The ability to add a range circle centered on the specified lat, long with a radius in meters? [with a specified stroke/fill color w/alpha]. This could also be used as a smaller alternate waypoint indicator which would vary in size based on zoom level.

Regards

Research direction

Start by locating the TkinterMapView widget's map drawing and coordinate-handling entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Review how existing waypoints are rendered, then define the range circle's center, meter-based radius, zoom behavior, and stroke/fill alpha before implementing and testing the requested display.
