These are really beautiful maps, and a nice game. I'm sure you're on to something much bigger with the company you're building, but many users will want to just show off where they've been all the time, and please don't take any offense if I say that this feels like "web2.0 onanism" to me.

Great point. We built it this past weekend as a 48 hr project, but the bigger vision is to create connections and conversations around locations. Thanks for the feedback!
