WalkScore (featured on this blog a week ago) has been releasing new features recently.
They released Transit Score, which returns a rating of how well your location is served by transit.
Additionally, and more relevant to this blog, is the custom walking map feature.
Search for an address to get a WalkScore, and then click the “Customize Map” tab. From there, you can select or deselect the amenities most important to you and watch as they are instantly added to or removed from the map, creating a custom map based on what’s important to you.
WalkScore’s data comes from Google, so some establishments may not be in the right category, but it’s a good way to see what the closet places are to you.
This could be really helpful if you want to see how many bars there are in the area before you take that new job. Or if you live in a dense urban area, you might need a reminder of all the options you have for going out to dinner.
