Calculate the distance in miles, kilometers, or nautical miles, with all the trigonometry abstracted away by GeoKit. * Geocoding from multiple providers. It currently supports Google, Yahoo, Geocoder.us, and Geocoder.ca geocoders, and it provides a uniform response structure from all of them. It also provides a fail-over mechanism, in case your input fails to geocode in one service. * Rectangular bounds calculations: is a point within a given rectangular bounds? * Heading and midpoint calculations Combine this with gem with the [geokit-rails plugin](http://github.com/andre/geokit-rails/tree/master) to get location-based finders for your Rails app. Plugins for other web frameworks and ORMs will provide similar functionality. @@ -34,13 +35,15 @@ irb> d.ll => "37.7897825005142,-122.223214776155" FYI, that `.ll` method means "latitude longitude". +See the RDOC more more ... there is also operations on rectangular bounds (e.g., determining if a point is within bounds, find the center, etc). + ## INSTALL: * gem sources -a http://gems.github.com - * sudo gem install andre-geokit-gem + * sudo gem install andre-geokit ## Configuration If you're using this gem by itself, here's how to set configurations:
