Possible Automation

This file describes functionality that

  1. Get coordinates of every municipality in Georgia
  2. Get straight-line distance and heading from each to Macon
  3. Manually enter google maps estimates for a couple dozen
  4. Get a formula T(d,θ) and calculate the rest

Panel Schedule Machine Learning

I have a fair number of labeled panel schedules from previous jobs that would be ripe for training.
