The same term has been adopted in transportation planning, for the curves of equal commute time to a job location, etc. Google has an incredible amount of data about this, but I don't know that it has been made available in any usable form.

Not really the same term as it is called isochrone map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochrone_map and the curves are more popular under "brachistochrone"

Google offers it on a bilateral basis for cash. Resources of http://iso4app.net are great and prices are ok.
This comment is pretty interesting, it's almost indistinguishable from the "I work from home and make $10k a week!!" facebook posts plaguing comment sections... but it might make legitimate sense in context!
The only way to find out is to click the link.
edit: And it's legit!
Aren't half the comments on HackerNews basically "I work on a similar project, check out my project"? Although extra suspicious when it's a green user.
Which to be fair, I'm entirely fine with as long as the projects are legitimate. In the world of programming, there are so many cool and useful libraries, services and tools out there that you have little hope to find out about them otherwise.
