I’ve been using Graticule for geocoding in a Rails project at work, and I decided I needed to make some changes. So, I turned the Graticule gem into a plugin. It’s available here:
./script/plugin install -x https://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/ruby/graticule_plugin
It’s as simple as that. Then just jam this into your environment and change it accordingly:
GEOCODERS = [
Graticule.service(:google).new('google_key'),
Graticule.service(:yahoo).new('yahoo_key'),
Graticule::GeocoderUsGeocoder.new,
Graticule::MetaCartaGeocoder.new
]
Then you can just perform looping on GEOCODERS to do your queries on every site. There’s also some other changes you can do to catch Graticule::AddressError, but I won’t go into those here.
