It reminds me a site where you'd pick a point on map and see where you'd get to in 15/30/etc minutes, including walking iirc.

Then you could even pick *two* points in map and see their intersection in time period, which was great for finding places to meet friends.

Isochrones is the word you’re after.

Even cooler are distance cartograms, where the map distorts according to travel time.
