Instance Method Details

#geocode_address(address, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Geocode a address. This method takes an address as a string and performs the geocoding against mapquest’s api. The options hash can have any option accepted by the mapquest geocoding api. The options key can be written ruby-style with underscores, they are transformed to mapquests format. If in the future a new option is added to the api by mapquest, you can add it in the options hash and it will work.

Parameters:

  • address (String) —

    to geocode

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    for mapquest geocoding service
