Commute time badge generator

This form helps you generate a badge that displays the commute time between two points.

It uses the Google Maps API Distance Matrix to get the travel distance and shields.io to generate the badge.

I built this for people who want to include a commute tile in their SharpTools dashboard, but the generated badge can be used for anything.
