I had a lot of _ideas_ in my 20s.

I fully spec'd out "On the Way" with a buddy of mine. Picking up beer close to your destination? Gas close to your departure point? The inverse? We would have you covered.

We had a path with Google Maps API, and I was convinced that monetization was at least possible enough to get Real Life VC funding.

In any case...this looks like a couple features. Sorry... :(

It was a feature. Google Maps had it implemented to 75% of what we'd spec'd within 9-12 months.

It's not like we'd actually tried, of course. We had full time jobs, for God's sake! But it became abundantly clear to me in that timeframe that FEATURE-sized ideas weren't gonna be viable. The Big Boy Ad Companies were gonna be burning those down for the next few months/years/forevers.
