I'm not in the market for a new home right now but I would absolutely use this in a future search. As it is now, it helped me confirm that my house is in a great location for…

I'm not sure why others have problems, but I love it! Once, in a similar situation, I had the thought that "somebody should build that" and never imagined that somebody actually…

This is incredible! I've been looking at new houses for a while now, trying to balance living next to a park, walking distance to elementary school and a grocery store, and…

This is really cool (and timely for me). Lovely work with the UX. No accounts, no nonsense. Kudos.

This doesn't seem to work very well. Searching for "grocery store" netted me a set of 22 locations spread across the entire country.

I found it was surprisingly easy to "populate with every instance of a given type". I've made a few maps based on grocery and transit where I did it by adding all >100 stores &…

I love the idea, but the data seems a bit off. I tested it in my little city, where I'm < 14 minutes by car from the grocery. It's actually a little quicker, but I'm going by…

Great idea! But unfortunately the site was too hard for me to use on mobile (iOS, Brave browser). I was unable to set the location - when I tried to set the location, the screen…

I’ve been looking for something like this. On my phone it’s rather unclear how to interpret the heat map though. There’s some kind of broken tooltip. What do the colors…

This is cool but I don't think it fits my use case.. Seems like I have to pick criteria that have exact venues.. I want to pick abstract things like "walking distance from…

I don't really understand what the search nearby places button is doing. I think the solution would be to allow some sort of OR operator (which seems straightforward), or…

Would be nice to use conditions. Like, if there are multiple libraries in a city and I would like to evaluate being 15 minutes from any of them, have a condition able to be set -…

I currently commute by train _and_ bike, but this only lets me filter by one or another, unfortunately. This seems to be a common problem with navigation systems in general. It's…

This is really cool! Well done. Like others, I'd love to specify generic things like distance to a "grocery store" or "gym" as part of my initial criteria. I see that I can add a…

Works for Sydney, well done! I previously used Mapnificent to choose a house location, and found that many geographically closer properties were often much further in terms of…

Very cool! This is nice when considering moving to a new area to narrow down neighborhoods that could work. One thing that I think could be useful is to also add criteria for…

An easy way to make this great tool twice as good: Allow inverted selections. I don't want to live near sketchy storefronts, and neither do other people less honest than myself.

Same, and I add one even more amorphous criteria, 'not directly next to noise pollution like an airport or highways.'

This is incredible! I've been looking at new houses for a while now, trying to balance living next to a park, walking distance to elementary school and a grocery store, and…

Some suggestions: - option to select individual results of "Search nearby places" or select top N closest result to your location - collapsible criteria on the edit/view pages -…

This is really, really cool and thanks for making it!! We must think at least somewhat similarly, last few times I was apartment hunting I did the same, though I never polished…

I tried something similar myself but failed on wanting to load the whole world of openstreetmap onto my server and into postgres. It worked but I never managed to get sub second…

You might prefer a more general walkability map, eg. https://www.walkscore.com

I've always liked the idea of combining distance criteria, especially when something is good for public transit to work, but not good in terms of walkability to anything I care…

Tom Carden made the "mySociety Travel Time and House Price Maps" in 2007: https://www.tom-carden.co.uk/2008/01/24/mysociety-maps >O'Reilly Radar has the scoop on the most recent…

There is another website that I've been using that provides similar functionality in terms of the heatmap: http://close.city What I like about this one is that it can show travel…
