Proximity maps

As we drove home from the CotC 50th bash, I noticed that we were driving right behind Steve & Ginny. They turned off a short distance from our home, and I wondered, “Who else lives close by, and we just don’t know?” Names of small residential streets are generally meaningless to people who don’t live right there, so you can’t just scan the Journey directory looking at addresses.

So: What if we had a Google Maps thing where I could add my home address? Then anyone who views that map can see where I live in relation to their home. Wouldn’t it be cool to find people within walking distance?

A separate map could show where I work. Then we could gather people for lunch.
