Timezone Information

[niedfelj]

Is it possible to include timezone information with the geocodes?

Yes, and there's a bit of code in there to do that, through the Geonames geocoded, but I haven't figured how to abstract it well enough yet.

Here's what I do as an after_save in one project:

def lookup_time_zone
  if geocode
    time_zone = Graticule::Geocoder::Geonames.new.time_zone(geocode.to_location)
    update_attribute :time_zone, time_zone
  end
end

I'd love to increase the number of geocodes, and abstract it, but it hasn't come up recently.
