@alexdredmon welcome to Product Hunt! I love how simple the app is - I'm a sucker for single purpose apps. When I open Google Maps it feels like I'm stepping into a mall and I can't find the thing I'm looking for.

Thank you @tomcalabrese! I feel the same way, which was my primary motivation for building this. Really appreciate the positive feedback!

Where did you get the neighborhood data? Is there an API somewhere? If I go to Odessa or São Paulo, will it still tell me what local neighborhood I'm in?

@wmodes the neighborhood data comes from the Google Maps API - it should work most places, although I have received one or two reports of areas missing this data.
