The 5km radius website unfortunately is exceeding the daily quota at times.

I wrote the 5km radius website to help family and friends. I made it available to the public in case it also helps others.

Unfortunately I didn't anticipate the level of traffic to the site with both Victoria and NSW in lockdown at the same time, with the same 5km radius limit. This higher than expected usage has caused all my mapping sites to stop working so I've had to try to find a way to keep my other sites working as well as the 5km radius site.

For this reason the 5km radius site now uses a separate mapping service which has a quota, but should at least enable many people to use the site before the quota is reached. This will literally be many thousands of people a day. I apologise to those who miss out on the day but please be aware the quota resets each day.

Thank you for visiting my site. Again my apologies for anyone who misses out. I simply cannot afford to fund the site above the quota provided as I have limited income at this time.

Update: 24 Aug 2021
Recent changes I've implemented appear to be working so for most weekdays the quota may not be reached. Weekends tend to peak higher so quota limits may still kick in at night on weekends. If that happens try again the next morning.
