can't convert String into Float

[donpdonp]

Since you were so quick to help before, i hope you dont mind another issue :). ive looked at the GeoRuby code in the backtrace and i'm a bit lost. I also hope this is enough information to be useful.
`

Location.create({:user_id=>51,"latitude"=>"45.51163136959076", "longitude"=>"-122.61863350868225", "altitude"=>"37.0", "accuracy"=>"16.0", "heading"=>"0.0", "velocity"=>"0.0", "timestamp"=>"2010-10-12T21:53:07+0000", "batterylevel"=>"43"}).errors.full_messages

i should add that the Location model has these helpers to make the #create call work.

def longitude=(new_longitude); geom_assign(:x, new_longitude); end def latitude=(new_latitude); geom_assign(:y, new_latitude); end def altitude=(new_altitude); geom_assign(:z, new_altitude); end

the fix may be blindingly obvious. im trying geom_assign(:x, new_longitude.to_f) with success so far.

that was it. i guess this changed in GeoRuby.
