Travel paths

[jantman]

Add travel paths between zones. gw2timer.com has these, where did they get them from? Is there a GW2 API for this?

[jantman]

gw2timer.com seems to have a probably-manually-created list of these in their JS.

Ok, I can use this data from gw2timer.com / https://github.com/Drant/GW2Timer

• see #19 for info; need proper attribution for data
• actual data is in https://github.com/Drant/GW2Timer/blob/gh-pages/data/general.js

This will require #20.

• There are files assets for the tunnel icons, that we're already caching.
• There's a file on the wiki for the asura gate icon.
• I can't find any portal icons...

19 is done. #20 is done.

The data we're looking for is in GW2T_GATEWAY_CONNECTION

We need icons for:

• interborders - the portals between zones - we can use the Asura gate starting area icon
• interzones - Asura gates wiki image
• intrazones - skritt tunnels (wiki image)
• launchpads - the launchpads inside zones - need to create an icon for this

Beyond icons, we have 2 problems to deal with here:

1. We want to highlight or otherwise draw attention to the other end of the travel path. This means we'll need to find a way to hold a reference to the matching marker for the other end, and do something on mouseover. Maybe we'll also want a context menu option to (a) zoom to show both ends, and/or (b) go to the other end.
2. We want meaningful names, especially for things like travel between zones (i.e. we want a tooltip that says something like "Asura Gate to ". However, the gw2timer.com data only has the coordinates, and figuring out which zone those coordinates are in is time-consuming in JS. Ideally this would be done python-side when the data is cached, but I'm not sure how easily or accurately I can have Python parse that JS source file, without requiring nodejs or something like it on the user's machine...
