Hey, I'm the author (and this is a just-for-fun project). I'd really like to hear any feedback you have, especially negative feedback! :)

Really interesting work.

Comments:

1. What did you use for the area polygons?

2. Moving the pin obscures where the pin is exactly. It would be better to centre the pin and move the map.

3. The search results are obscured by ads... It makes it impossible to then use the service (on ipad)

Thanks, glad you like it.

1. I "borrowed" them from a tourism site :) I'm planning to replace them with census "output areas" which should hopefully make more sense (and they won't cross over)

2. Yes, I think I need to rethink the workplace map. It's not easy to tell what is unintuitive when you make it.

3. Sorry, due to the way adwords works, it isn't easy to tell what ads will look like before you put them live of the first time.

I'll send you an email after I finish work. Thanks for your interest!

Really like the integration with TFL - commute times are a really handy bit of info.
