Yes, it does. That's what he was saying. Padmapper does this, with multiple settings in the search as well.

No, it doesn't although it does have an option to show a walk score (which you might be thinking of). Note that a "walk score" is different than commute time: a walk score is how generally walkable an area is for everyone while a commute time is dependent on another location.

Can you tell me where one can find the option to limit matches based on mass transit distance from some location? (In general, when you say "yes it does" offer some feature, it would be helpful to describe where in the UI it can be accessed, otherwise we'll have a long "yes it does", "no it doesn't" conversation. The burden of proof is on the person claiming something exists rather than the one claiming it does not. :))

You can find what I believe he is talking about buried in the last level of padmapper's menus along with it's crime and walkscore overlays. It's mostly just a text box where you type some number of minutes and a location and it highlights the area you can reach by walking from the provided location for the given number of minutes, following roads and paths on google maps.

Thanks, I think that is why he talked about multiple settings.

I actually missed that when I looked at it previous times. :)

But still it only allows walking and driving and not mass transit so my first point in the thread still stands.
