To me, it's just a cool tweak to be able to put my very own hometown on, but if I'm not going wild with that, any city guaranteed to be the same offset from UTC is close enough... so the 3-max seems pointless.
I like to know where different cities near me are. Besides there is at least on city per nation in Europe for the map. Each province and state in Canada and the US is similar to that and as such show have equal representation. The other advantage of this project would be that down the line when DST goes out of fashion, individual provinces and states that abolish DST would have their info updated. A little work now would save a lot of work later on.
