// Amsterdump is a small program that populates a BigQuery table with
// a matrix of origin points scattered around Amsterdam and each
// respective points travel time to a given destination.
//
// The two destinations used here are the Schiphol Airport and
// Amsterdam Central station.
//
// To accomplish this the Google Maps Distance Matrix API [1] is
// queried with the points. A visualisation is later done using
// BigQuery GeoViz[2].
