When you've finished, the grid holds the distance to the nearest
station. Convert it to a GIF and fiddle with the colour map and, for
example, you can have a map where places within 1km of a station are
green, within 2km are yellow, and more than 2km are red.


I actually did a map like this on Friday:

I loaded all the station locations into a MySQL database, then wrote a
PHP script to generate an SVG file. I didn't bother calculating
distances - it just does separate passes to make the quarter mile
discs appear on top of the half mile discs, which achieves a similar
effect.
