 Since I wrote this to be semi-useful for me, the result returned depends on the time of the day. If it's run before 8am it looks for the 6am weather data (since data is in 3 hour periods) and assumes the route is being traversed normally, run between 8am and 7pm it looks for the 6pm data for going home and therefore also traverses the saved route in reverse, and run after that time it looks again for the 6am data, but for the next day, and thus the route is back to being traversed in the normal direction.
 
 _Hint:_ I have a shell function defined as follows:
 
 	function headsilose {
-		erl -pa /home/simon/Code/github/atomicules/heads-I-lose /home/simon/Code/github/atomicules/heads-I-lose/ebin -run headsilose headsilose XXXXXX -noshell;
+		erl -pa /home/simon/Code/github/atomicules/heads-I-lose /home/simon/Code/github/atomicules/heads-I-lose/ebin -run headsilose headsilose XXXXXX alternative_geometries -noshell;
 	}
 
 So I can just call
 
 	headsilose
