Add a flag to attempt to use the users current location as the 'from' address.

Ex:

commuter -from-current -to work

This would attempt to determine the users current location and use that as the from address.

Thank you for this software. It is quite ingeneous. Is there a way to specify route? There are two main routes between my home and work, and I'd like to get the commute time for each route so that I can compare.

[Background: I'm trying to create a cron job that will run every morning, get the commute time for each route, then send me a text message advising which of the two routes is best.]

Instructions in the README say to use:

$ commuter add -name work -address "321 Maple Ave. Toronto, Ontario"

However, the -address command is not recognized and returns the error:

flag provided but not defined: -address

It should be -location

Travis CI, GoDoc, Go Report Card, etc.

Would be nice to be able to monitor a commute, and optionally write the output to a file. By default, monitor would poll every minute, and the user could supply their own interval (in minutes).

Ex:

commuter monitor --from home --to work

Would print the commute time to stdout every minute.

commuter monitor --from home --to work --interval 5 --out file.txt

Would write the commute every five minutes to file.txt.

This would allow you to get commute times for other methods of transportation:

commuter -to work -drive
commuter -to work -transit
commuter -to work -walk
commuter -to work -bike

Specifying multiple commands would display the commute time for each:

commuter -to work -drive -transit
Drive: 45 mins
Transit: 37 mins

-all-methods could also be used to specify that all transit types should be used.

Provide a URL to the commute map to view in a browser.

I think the code already does this, but if it can output the URL with the start and end locations, then it canadd a visual component that would be helpful. eg:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=760+West+Genesee+Street+Syracuse+NY+13204&destination=314+Avery+Avenue+Syracuse+NY+13204

I've installed both the binary, and from within GO, in Ubuntu and both will always ask for the google maps API key and home location, and seem unable to store them. I haven't been able to figure out how to debug the issue commuter is having storing the data, and as such it is not currently usable.

This would allow you to save an address, similar to the default, and use it as an address in other commands.

Ex:

commuter add -name home -value "123 Main st."
commuter -to home

The second command would print the commute from default to home.

Regardless of the command, if any, commuter should prompt the user for API key and default location if there is no existing configuration.
