I suspect the frequency of people asking this type of query is low enough that mainstream apps will likely never implement such a feature.

However, it would be interesting to see if you can solve this kind of problem using GPT or replit. I expect AI to cover all such longtail use cases by quickly whipping up not-so-perfect but gets-the-job-done apps/code.

If you let users' input influence the algorithm’s suggestion, it will likely be abused. People on the internetz are nasty creatures.

This seems kind of close to what city mapper gives you.
