= Graticule
Graticule is a geocoding API for looking up address coordinates. It supports many popular APIs, including Yahoo,
Google, Geocoder.ca, Geocoder.us, PostcodeAnywhere and MetaCarta.
= Usage
require 'rubygems'
require 'graticule'
geocoder = Graticule.service(:google).new "api_key"
location = geocoder.locate "61 East 9th Street, Holland, MI"
= Distance Calculation
Graticule includes 3 different distance formulas, Spherical (simplest but least accurate), Vincenty (most accurate and
most complicated), and Haversine (somewhere inbetween).
geocoder.locate("Holland, MI").distance_to(geocoder.locate("Chicago, IL"))
#=> 101.997458788177
= Command Line
Graticule includes a command line interface (CLI).
$ geocode -s yahoo -a yahookey Washington, DC
Washington, DC US
latitude: 38.895222, longitude: -77.036758
