I like this and can see it being useful. Kind of an interesting twist on traditional map search.
My one complaint is that the icons representing the hotels/food/bars are way too small and non characteristic.
You need to give your map some more personality and try to differentiate yourself from the same exact look as Google maps. I believe Google made some cool changes to the API recently that allow you to really customize the look and feel..
But it's underwhelming.. This list has the right idea though: simple no-bullshit access to people who could potentially fund your product/idea with out all the overhead of an incubator or VCs.
