  How do you establish "distance to work"?

  While searching for an apartments, I've always wished I could have a "heat-map" overlay of distance-to-work, taking into account traffic at given commute hours.

  I suppose this should be possible nowadays with Google Maps' APIs.

  I recently started looking for a new apartment and found it exhausting to keep track of all the posts. So I put this together to better visualize and compare apartments. It doesn't have to be about apartments though, you can edit the input text and play around with it.
