  • JakeyG14, on 12/05/2008, -2/+9I use it to surprise girls I meet on the net at their house when they're lonely. Chicks dig the whole "yeah, I said I was 16 but I'm really 27, but does it really matter now I'm here?", thing.

  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Sadly, you are correct.
  • Asvetic, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Are there any map API's that do "radius of" features. Like for someone who just moved to a new location, what is within walking distance of their new home, or a short drive say a 5 mile radius. Would also be useful for finding places close to work or to help people decide on where to move.

  • omarciddo, on 12/05/2008, -4/+1Yes and no. Yes, it's the standard for many people (including me), but "MapQuest" is still the verb I hear generally used.
