Graticule still uses the V2 API which was deprecated on March 8, 2010 and will be brought down on March 8, 2013.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/v2/

Google's current geocoding API:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/

The new API doesn't require a key for use and is likely more robust than the deprecated API.

I made the following request:

location = Geocode.geocoder.locate "61 East 9th Street, Holland, MI"

And i got the following error message:

"{\n   \"error_message\" : \"Requests to this API must be over SSL.\",\n   \"results\" : [],\n   \"status\" : \"REQUEST_DENIED\"\n}\n"

I modified graticule to make requests with https and now i am getting:

"error_message\" : \"This site is not authorized to use this API key.\",\n   \"results\" : [],\n   \"status\" : \"REQUEST_DENIED\"\n}

I am using graticule 2.3.0.

thx!

For the geocoders that support multiple results, we should modify the graticule API to allow all the results to be returned.

Some initial support for this was done here, but never got pulled in.

What's the status on cutting a new release? I need the fix in commit 5a2b604. Can you release a 2.4.1?

When my params ( street => "street", locality => "Zürich") I have the following error message : incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT

if I put locality => Züriche (unexistant city), it's work.

For information, the problem may be in methode create_from_location (geocode.rb line 32). Remplace

create geocoder.locate(location).attributes.merge(:query => location.to_s)

by

create geocoder.locate(location).attributes.merge(:query => location.to_s.parameterize) #Replace accentutate chars by non-accentuate chars and it's works

I don't know if is the best way to fix this.

Elsewhere in the plugin you're using :postal_code, but for the :precision option, it seems to be US-centric values(:zip, :street, :state, etc.)

For example:

#<Graticule::Location:0x106326188 @street=nil, @postal_code="49423", @longitude=-86.0733498, @region="MI", @precision=:zip, @latitude=42.7381514, @locality="Holland", @country="US">

Would be awesome to release a version between 2.4-2.5 wit this commit 5a2b604

Both are ways to get a definitive ID for a place. We should support that.

and

I get this error when it treis to load the Bogus class:
undefined method `class_attribute' for Graticule::Geocoder::Bogus:Class

What am I missin?. If I comment out the require statement for Bogus it seems to work fine.

More specifically it fails when calculating distance between similar locations and can be repeated by executing following code:

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_value "SELECT #{Graticule::Distance::Spherical.to_sql(:latitude => 51.550249, :latitude_column => 51.550249, :longitude => -0.132918, :longitude_column => -0.132918)}"

returns

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERROR: input is out of range

The problem is actually ages old http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=17922&group_id=2643&atid=10191 but probably too edge case to be taken care of?

See #28 with pull request.

When sending a request to Google it passes back a 200 response of an HTML error message. Graticule assumes the OK status and continues on.

When it gets to Happy Mapper it fails all of the tests for XML locations but still assumes it is XML and falls back to

node = XML::Parser.string(xml).parse.root

This raises an exception and fails the entire process.

Instead of nasty XML parsing with REXML, let's just depend on HappyMapper.

A timeout during geocoding results in the following backtrace, as we discussed:

Hi,

FYI

If we use ruby 1.9.3preview1, we can't compile happymapper beaceause it's use libxml-ruby 1.X, and this bug of libxml-ruby is fix with version 2.X.
So beaceause happymapper seems to be not updated since a while, you can use fork of ehutzelman (https://github.com/ehutzelman/happymapper), who use libxml 2.X

When using Google as the selected geocoder, it would be nice if we could somehow retrieve the full country name instead of just the two letter abbreviation.

graticule did not have a valid gemspec.
This prevents bundler from installing bins or native extensions, but that may not affect its functionality.
The validation message from Rubygems was:
["test/config.yml"] are not files

I'm getting the following error when trying to use Graticule with Ruby 1.9.2pre3 & Rails 3 beta4:

First I though "with_options" had been removed in Rails 3 but it seems to still be there (at least in beta3): http://apidock.com/rails/v3.0.0.beta3/Object/with_options

Any idea what's going on?

When I run:

Graticule.service(:simple_geo).new(SIMPLE_GEO_JSONP_KEY).locate('90210')

I get:

Graticule::Error: Referer header required for JSONP token: xxx

How do you avoid this error?

Hello,
I use graticule 0.2.12 (unfortunately I cannot update to Rails3). When I try to locate some addresses that Google doesn't recognize, graticule raises an exception:

A REXML::ParseException occurred in :

It seems that sometimes Google blocks requests. This is an example:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'

irb(main):002:0> require 'graticule'

irb(main):003:0> g = Graticule.service(:google).new "MY_API_KEY"

irb(main):004:0> g.locate "Via Ausonia Nuova km 1, 03043 cassino, italy"

And this is the response:

How can I prevent that exception?
