Defined in:
lib/geokit/mappable.rb

Overview

This class encapsulates the result of a geocoding call. It’s primary purpose is to homogenize the results of multiple geocoding providers. It also provides some additional functionality, such as the “full address” method for geocoders that do not provide a full address in their results (for example, Yahoo), and the “is_us” method.

Some geocoders can return multple results. Geoloc can capture multiple results through its “all” method.

For the geocoder setting the results, it would look something like this:

geo=GeoLoc.new(first_result)
geo.all.push(second_result)
geo.all.push(third_result)

Then, for the user of the result:

puts geo.full_address     # just like usual
puts geo.all.size  => 3   # there's three results total
puts geo.all.first        # all is just an array or additional geolocs, 
                            so do what you want with it

Instance Attribute Details

#accuracy ⇒ Object

accuracy is set for Yahoo and Google geocoders, it is a numeric value of the precision. see code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#GeocodingAccuracy

# File 'lib/geokit/mappable.rb', line 354

def accuracy
  @accuracy
end

#all ⇒ Object

Location attributes. Full address is a concatenation of all values. For example: 100 Spear St, San Francisco, CA, 94101, US



345
346
347
 
# File 'lib/geokit/mappable.rb', line 345

def all
  @all
end

#city ⇒ Object

Location attributes. Full address is a concatenation of all values. For example: 100 Spear St, San Francisco, CA, 94101, US

def country_code
  @country_code
end

#full_address ⇒ Object

full_address is provided by google but not by yahoo. It is intended that the google geocoding method will provide the full address, whereas for yahoo it will be derived from the parts of the address we do have.

#precision ⇒ Object

Attributes set upon return from geocoding. Success will be true for successful geocode lookups. The provider will be set to the name of the providing geocoder. Finally, precision is an indicator of the accuracy of the geocoding.
