Interesting concept. I like the overlay idea, but I think simply having that as a standalone map would not be useful in other areas where distance as the crow flies ≠ time traveled. Areas with large bodies of water (like adjacent peninsulas), mountainous areas or areas with strange road infrastructure (Some parts of Virginia).

Nonetheless, an interesting concept!

The distance changes as you change your mode of transportation - so barriers would be taken into account for the time traveled.

My impression is that the distance is not "as a crow flies". It's distance given the mode of travel you specify.
