I live in Orlando, FL as well. It looks like a 4 leaf clover on a one hour destination map. Everything looks accurate though
The one hour one is accurate for me, but if you try 3 or 4 hours it gets a bit weird.
FYI: All shared maps are trivially enumerable. Probably don't use your home address. https://oalley.net/map/b4x https://oalley.net/map/b4y https://oalley.net/map/b4z
Every home has somebody living there. Unless you can connect it to an identity, and have a particular reason to target that identity, it's not much of a reveal.
^ It shows that about the furthest I can go in 2 hours (east) is Tanner, WA, while in reality I can go about twice that distance and do frequently, nearly all the way to Ellensberg. The north/south part looks correct.
I did a similar thing and built isochronic maps while at a start-up for business intelligence back in 2014. I'm curious how you got the going, data processing and all.
When I'd done it I set up all roads and continents in OSM but it took quite a bit of work to do so. I'd used Osmium to import everything into postgres and set it up to using pgrouting. It took quite a bit of work but with a lot of query mangling it had a lot of traversal cost variates (street type, population, daytime pop) it had pretty good approximations of Google!
The most awful part was trying to set up the data to be usable, quick, and deal with large queries (set it up for a maximum 150km without issue), but it was a great challenge!
Nice. 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!
The key to winning in the property space is definitely non-obvious, but I love to see innovative search tools popping up from time to time. Long may it continue!

specifically the upper peninsula. it looks like it doesn't have enough data as you go towards the rural north, which doesn't shock me at all, and extrapolates from that.
