Home Sweet Home

A set of tools to help you find the perfect home spot to live, optimizing commute time.

The Google spreadsheet will query a list of home spots and evaluate if they fit.

Feel free to sort it by any column of your choice. Some clickable columns will bring you to Google Maps.

A map of home spots with a color code to ease your decision!

At the top of the page you can:

• change the number of home spots to display, which will also update the color code
• switch view between:
  • position of each spot on the podium
  • names of the spots
  • relevance of the spots regarding each workplace

Hover a home spot to get more information

Click on the home spot to open Google Maps with itinerary to the current selected workplace or the complete journey. Itineraries are calculated for a monday morning.
