So do people in Columbia and South Africa. :)
Indeed it is a fairly Universal attitude that one's own geographical Focus is Paramount.
I see what you did there.

Personally, I'd quite like it to work in places that I'm going to travel to as well.
I'm also in the same city for the vast majority of the year, but I already know how to get from home to work and back.
The post focuses on the reach of their maps by showing lots of numbers in a comparison. They would better demonstrate their point with side by side pictures, like the ones from OP of this thread.
Personally, I wonder about the reach of this marketing angle. I take 2 international trips per year. I'm in the same city 330+ days/year. I don't care if the maps work in Columbia or South Africa. I just want it to work well where I live!
