WTF?

Shamelessly scrape Google's "Austin Apartments With Fiber" map to build a more different map.

But why?

Because there are a ton of apartments in Austin where Google Fiber is Coming Real Soon Now, and only a relative few with Fiber actually available. It's impossible to search Google's Fiber map for only potential places to live that are relevant to my fiber-desiring interests, and that's not cool.

Can I use this?

The publically-available location data is Google's, so if you need it for non-personal use talk to them. But if this dinky little tool is relevant to your own interests... Knock yourself out. It'll maybe/probably work with the meta-urls for other (non-Austin) Google Fiber cities too, but I haven't checked.

How?

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./makemap

$ ./makemap --help

Wait this isn't a map, this is a JSON file...

Throw the output file in a gist or open it at geojson.io. MAGIC.

Ain't nobody got time for that, just give me the map please
