Free, stripped down version of their site survey tool: 
http://www.ekahau.com/wifidesign/ekahau-heatmapper

Otherwise +1 on metageek inSSIDer for quick location jobs.  Finding a 'distance 
from AP' tool would be difficult with all of the variables involved - receiver 
sensitivity, AP Tx strength, obstacles, etc.  It's a best guess, triangulating 
based on the signal strengths received at various locations.

Doing a full site survey with either ekahau or AirMagnet will get you within a 
few meters (depending on the accuracy of your data points) of the AP locations.
