Feeding Strait into Google Maps
Google Maps requires a latitude and longitude object which can be created from the center point of the polygon of coordinates returned, and then reversed and rounded.
To return a latitude and longitude object, simply specify the final optional parameter as true.

Authenticating
You will need to register your application at https://apps.twitter.com/app/new Then copy and paste the following into a JSON object similar to that below. Ideally you should put this in a separate .gitignore'd file
moduleexports = consumer_key : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' consumer_secret : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' token : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' token_secret : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
Note about Data Limits
Twitter imposes a limit of 15 requests every 15 minutes. After this the Twitter API returns a single empty JSON object.
