Has some bugs to work out. Put in Pizza for my hometown and it gave me some of the local places. But then went to far aways places and got the distances wrong on a lot of those

I put in Dentist and my hometown and it was perfect - mentioned all the dentists in the surrounding area too.

Very cool!

Google is what bureaucracy should have always been.

(I saw Brazil; I saw 1984 [and I must read it soon].)

It's a little outdated. One of the Pizza Huts they list is now an Alfonso's Mexican Food.

Not bad, though.

I put in "gas" and my town. It got all the gas stations in the surrounding towns, with correct milage. It missed, however, the only gas station actually in this town.
