It didn't find my local airport. 15G

I have put together a free online flight planner which GA pilots might
find useful: 'fly.dsc.net' (http://fly.dsc.net).
It's somewhat unusual in that it instead of using a database of only
aviation waypoints you can plan using any place as a waypoint. This
means it is good if you want to fly to a small town or city and you
don't know which is the closest airfield. Similarly if you want to see
a METAR or a TAF but you don't know which is the closest reporting
station.
Most of all it is meant to be super-fast and easy to use.
Whilst this was built from a UK pilot's perspective, it does have a
global database, so my question is, is it useful to US pilots? Given
that US pilots already have a wide-range of systems from which to use,
does this add anything? I am pretty confident it is faster than things
like aeroplanner, but then it is much less functional. It is
deliberately non-graphical to allow access using mobile data solutions
(e.g. cellphone & laptop).
