Once the user sets the current location, they can perform a Concentric Proximity Search and can look for the Travel Distance on the hover or the tooltip card for any record plotted within the specified proximity.

The records can be plotted based on distance or time. Consider a radius of 3 miles, the records within it will appear as follows.

The records for multiple radii would appear as follows and the travel distance to a pushpin from the current location would appear on hover.

Records can be plotted based on time in hrs. or mins, considering Traffic or not based on users' choice. Consider user is willing to travel for 50 minutes in traffic. The records within a 50-minute drive will be plotted as follows, The user can hover over the pushpin to see the Travel Time to that record from the current location.
