(Inspired by support case TS-41843, where the customer seems to have drawn a plain 2D circle in the hope that that would represent "100 miles away from a specific point", which it doesn't.)
I would like to have a function which e.g. using good enough monte carlo sampling generates a geometric shape that corresponds to a certain distance away from a point on a sphere.
OR
I would like to have a new map layer type, which draws (in an optionally semi-transparent fashion) the area / shape corresponding to a certain distance from a point on a sphere.
In the support case, the customer wanted a black line (_almost_ a circle) to indicate the distance "100 miles away from a certain point".
