Setup Instruction
	As this app uses Google Maps API you will need your personal API Code. You will need a google Account, 
	unless you already have one its now a good time to create one. (you will find several instructions for 
	that by using your preferred search engine. To get the api code follow this steps:
	
	* go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key and klick
	"get key"
	* login with your google account
	* klick again on "get key"
	* a popup will occur where you can select one of your projects or create a new one
	* as you read this instruction you probably dont have a project, so create a new one
	* give the project a name an klick on "create and enable api" it will take a moment
	* after that you will get displayed your API key
	* next you land on the page before (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key?refresh=1)
	scroll down to the section "Detailed guide for users of the standard Google Maps Distance Matrix API" 
	and follow the instructions to enable the api and set some restrictions if needed.
    * see also the information about limitations from google
	* test your api key with a provided test url (dont forget to put your api key in the url)
	* if you are here, and the google api return some values and no error message you are good to go
	* use the app configuration to put the API Key, home and work address in and start the app
	

	
Usage Instruction
	This app provides you with the estimated traffic time from your home to your work address.
	In the morning hours it will display the time from home to work and in the afternoon from 
	work to home. 
	
	The App requires the following Input Parameters:
	* Homeadress
	* Workadress
	* Google API Key
	
	If you wish to adjust the time, probably if you want to know how traffic could be in 15 minutes
	you can set optional the "offset" with a value from 0 (now) to 60 (in 1 hour).
	
	You get the best results by entering the addresses like "route house number city country" without any comma
	or other wired signs. Exercises first on google map, to see if google maps the correct address. Or feel free
	to use gps coordinates.
	
	Take care in this version it isnt possible to adjust the morning and evening window times. This will
	follow probably in version 3.
