Hemnet commute time

This is a Google Chrome extension for https://www.hemnet.se. It allows to display the commute time between a place of interest and each of the Hemnet search results.

Configure your places of interest and your Google Maps API key in content.js:

{
  address: "Gamla Stan, Stockholm", // Address of the place you want to compare with
  transitMode: "transit",           // How to go there: [transit, bicycling]. Transit defaults to subway.
  transitName: "T-bana",            // Transportation name (display only)
  timeLimit: 1800                   // In seconds. Above that limit the text is red, green otherwise.
}

Get your API key on https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key.

Possible improvements

• Only the first route from Google Maps API is processed. Some kind of averaging could be used.
• Only two places of interest fit on the 'For sale' page. More is possible but hard to read.
• No GUI to configure places of interest and API key.
• Only subway and bicycle are available. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions#TravelModes.
