I've just rewritten this area of the code completely so all of this should be fine now. Thanks again!

I've considered adding hints. Do you have ideas? Mine:

1. Give names of intersecting streets. 2. Reduce the circle by half (just for this street). 3. Show a photo. 4. Allow you to drop a pin and tell you the distance (but not the direction). Then you can confirm the pin or move it one more time.

Thank you! This is an issue I'm aware of and will fix. Never considered zoom... interesting!

This morning I hit the Maptiler free plan limit. I now pay $30/month for it (annoyingly they don't include sales tax in their displayed prices). I think the limit goes a long way though

Thank you.

>The radius should be adjustable

Yes I will be working on an adjustable radius (I made it 20% smaller yesterday btw) and difficulty modes.

>Compete with friends (Can make it viral)

You can compete with friends. Click "Learn more" to figure out how to do that. I will also be looking into a "share score" functionality as well as leaderboards maybe.

>Don't know how it calculates the point

I'm aware of an issue in how the distance is measured and will fix it. Sometimes there can also be a discrepancy between the data and the rendered map.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've added a marker to the centre of the circle. Thanks again

For now, I've reduced the circle radius by 20%. I plan to make it adjustable in the future.
