How Far Can You Travel with Google Maps?

Isochronous Application

Isochronous Application is a Google Map that allows the user to find the distance they can travel by foot, bike or car within a given time period.

To use the application the user selects the trip type (car, bike or car), then selects the length of time they wish to travel for and a starting address. The application then shades the area on the map within which the user can travel in that time period from the stated starting point.
