# Generates driving directions from a starting location | |
# to a series of destinations in a CSV, used to print | |
# maps for volunteers delivering food to the less-fortunate | |
# | |
# CSV format - place in a file named `list.csv` | |
# Name, Street, Zipcode, Phone, Count | |
# | |
# Generates two output folders: | |
# maps/ : Printer-friendly HTML directions with turn-by-turn images | |
# static/ : Images used in the maps | |
# | |
# Requirements: Python 2.5+ and jinja2 | |
