I am trying to plot out the 10 community connectivity locations using either google maps or bing maps, and I am unable to draw a 1/2 mile radius circle to enclose the area. Does anyone know a program or way to do this?

I use Google Earth to map the radius and services. The Ruler tools allows you to draw a 1/2 mile line from the project site. Drop and label pins at the project site and 1/2 mile radius. There are several icons available for various services if you like. I then take a screen shot of the site w/ services and pull it into a photo editing software (Adobe Photoshop Elements) where I draw the radius using project site and 1/2 mi. radius points and then draw the map scale.

Joshua,
I do the same as Norma except I use Adobe Photoshop. If you do not have any of the graphic design software you can do this in Word also.
As long as you have the 1/2 mile line you can use that as your distance marker and draw a circle in the program you have.

Here's a handy website I recently came across (although it's initially centered on London) that will plot a circle of whatever radius you choose onto a Google map:
