Objections
Adding a speed entry takes too many steps, requiring leaving the site to copy results
From 2 comments
it would be helpful if you could make the adding 1 click. i have to leave your site, then come back, then go to back to the other site and copy the next field..etc etc. no one is…
wdewind on HNThis is exactly why I left the site. If a site asks me to leave, I will be less likely to return and enter data.

Switch to map view control
From 1 comment
Can you make add the control to switch to the map view? Looking around sometimes takes too long to load in Satellite mode, which is probably indicative of my broadband speed.

Record price paid
From 1 comment
It would be interesting if you added in a question about price that people paid as well. While the sample size is small, I'm surprised that the US is largely on par with Europe…
