The question was: in what context do people need to answer a question like "which geographical points are close to X and similar to X"?

I don't understand who the target audience is and what this can be used for.

The original idea came from something I saw at work - we needed a way to build generic feature sets representing something about real estate, but beyond the data we had on prices, floors, and other house-specific details.

My guess is this site is simply a way to explore the embeddings. People make similar data visualization tools for word embeddings, so that's what I assumed this was.
