Thanks I will fix it.

#52Service is down if you switch to French. Just so you know :-) (Vous êtes basés à Toulouse ?)
Hopefully the .net domain name is not down, and I don't understand why. I am checking with my web host for the french version.

#53If you want to build your own with OpenStreetMap data and traffic included, checkout OpenTripPlanner. http://docs.opentripplanner.org/en/latest/Intermediate-Tutor...
Does it include connections to data sources for traffic, bus departures, and such, or do you have to provide them yourself?

#54Pretty neat. It's ignoring some roads when doing it from "Montreal, Québec, Canada" even with 8 hours... It should be going farther east on the south side of the St. Lawrence river towards "Gaspé". Otherwise, it's a really great idea.
Same. It did not make it to Toronto from Ottawa in five hours, even though I routinely get there in 4.5 hours.

#55I’d like an option to show a line which is the same travel time between two starting destinations. Additionally, I’d like to show multiple travel times from both locations (15min, 30,45,60). Finally, I can’t figure out how to clear an address through the UI.
Re: Show HN: A map that shows you how far you can go for a given time or distance
#56Is 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…
Traffic condition or not taken into account, maybe that is why you did not get what you expected ?
You can remove an area by clicking on remove icon near to it at the bottom left of the webpage (only available on desktop).
I will think about adding a remove all button.

What do you mean by "traffic included"? From googling around it looks like OTP has some support for OpenTraffic data, i.e. static average travel times rather live updated traffic.

#58I 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. https://oalley.net/map/b4y 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; eve…
It actually does seem to account for ferry routes. I plugged a location in Seattle in and the surface it draws juts across the water to roughly where the ferries dock. Maybe there just isn't a data source for where you're at yet?

#60Nice. 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!
It is very interesting hat you had a similar idea, would you like to share your experience with me ? If so, can you send me an email at : contact@oalley.fr ?
