I tried using it for US locations, got a little note underneath the search bar saying "France Only". It's true Americans don't like to go out of their way :)

#42> Time zones are also called isochronous or catchment area.
IsochrOnes. Catchment areas are something different.

#43Is anyone else getting simply wrong information? I put in my work address and a time of one hour. It shows two of my previous home address as being over an hour away. It takes me about 40 - 50 minutes to get to work now from my current address. It took my about an hour from the other address. Also, there needs to be a way to clear the map. Right now, I'm just overlaying times. I don't know if I'm just missing it on t…
yeah, it says I can commute in half an hour, but unfortunately it's 45 minutes on a good day at best. A little too optimistic for me.

#44Cool idea but I can easily come up with areas reachable within X minutes but not within X+d minutes... Which would never happen unless you can't slow down! And not in a fancy way; just starting by car from Madrid, Berlin or Paris and looking into main roads.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sure, it is shared at: https://oalley.net/map/b4e If it helps, the 3 points going east are probably due to 2 canyons that do go east of town, one of which splits into 2 roads after a mile or so. And many of the others are similar in that, yes, there is a road that would extend your reach in those directions... but not quite where the map is drawing it. There are two areas that are complete anomalies: the path going N…
Thank you, I will study it.
Another wrong map. https://oalley.net/map/b4u
In 8h you can get to Salamanca(East of Barcelona) according to Google Maps, so like half of Spain should be marked.
It's also interesting that according to this, you can get to Monaco(6h 34m on Gmaps) , but no to Marseille (4h 54m on GMaps).

#46I love this! I'm in Orlando, Florida which has some rather weird behavior (mostly within the state of Florida, namely going down south), but other than that it is really cool. I think the peninsular shape of Florida is throwing it off a bit.
I live in Orlando, FL as well. It looks like a 4 leaf clover on a one hour destination map. Everything looks accurate though

#47I like the idea - but it isn't working well for my location, at the base of a canyon in Utah, with mountains on 3 sides of me and a big lake on the 4th. It looks like it knows that there are canyons and roads and obstacles that need to be accounted for, but the spikes jutting out from my location don't follow the roads or terrain. FWIW, the site at: https://maps.openrouteservice.org/reach also fails to compute accura…
Along the same lines, it doesn't seem to account for ferry routes when there is a lot of water in your area.
Sharing only so the developer has another test case :)
The three points on the right are only reachable by ferry, so add approximately 1.5 hrs to the travel time. Plus the one at the bottom right would require the driver to pass through the downtown core of the city of Vancouver; even without the ferry time, it wouldn't be possible to do that in under 1 hour from the origin.

#49What about walking? The most basic usage is missing! But whis works: https://maps.openrouteservice.org/reach
It is scheduled to be added soon :)

#50Nice. Me and two partners had something like this in 2012. We tried to sell it to zoopla/rightmove/etc but none of them were interested. We integrated it with stuff like supermarkets, clinics, gyms, etc and allowed you to build quite complex searches with multiple locations and constraints. It was called locatable.com and is now thoroughly dead. I wish you luck monetising this somehow!
