===========
MapBuoy: a tool for random travelling
===========

Provided with a location, MapBuoy will generate a sequence of random points within the vicinity of the original location. The generation of these points allows for a random trip to be generated, this is great when you have time to kill and nowhere in particular to be.

MapBuoy can run as a Django application::

    add `mapbuoy.urls` to urls.py,
    add `mapbuoy` to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS, and
    run `python manage.py collectstatic`

Alternatively, you can use Mapbuoy as a commandline application. Usage::

    mapbuoy [arguments]
        - address : Origin Address, Ex: `115 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia`
        - max_distance : Max Distance in Metres, Ex: `10000` for 10Km's
        - number_of_points : Number of points in the trip, Ex: `5`

    Example:

        >> mapbuoy "115 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia" 10000 5

            Trip:
                - #1 115 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
                - #2 4-10 Goulburn St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
                - #3 15-33 Parker St, Haymarket NSW 2000, Australia
                - #4 1 Art Gallery Rd, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
                - #5 70-72 King St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia


            Total Road Distance: 4.195175Km

            Total time for generation: 2.179685 seconds
