First of all: it's really cool and fun! Congratulations!

As a small feedback: adjustable radius would be more fun. For example in the town were I had my childhood, this area is too big and takes other neighbourhood/cities that I don't know, but for where I live now it fits great.

Again, nice job and congratulations for making it!

Thank you :)

This has come up so much. I'll be adding it, thanks!

Another thing is that it seems you are sampling with replacement. I placed a circle in a rural area (where I grew up) and in one round I got the same street for 3/5 of the selections (and there were 10+ streets within the radius).

Thanks, will look into it!

This is now fixed! (Thanks to a contribution by johrpan)

For now, I've reduced the circle radius by 20%. I plan to make it adjustable in the future.
