Here are some random python scripts for working with retroplasma/earth-reverse-engineering.

Requirements:

pip install protobuf

Usage:

python find_overlaps.py <latitude_1> <longitude_1> <latitude_2> <longitude_2>

You may keep the comma after the latitude. The script will just ignore any trailing comma. The order of the <latitudes> and <longitudes> doesn't matter. The script will sort them automatically.

Example output:

> python find_overlaps.py 37.419714, -122.083275 37.420626, -122.085045

LatLonBox(north=37.420626, south=37.419714, west=-122.085045, east=-122.083275)
