Hallo,
I have installed geokit and when I use irb to get geocode from google
maps everything works fine
irb(main):001:0> require ''geokit''
=> true
irb(main):002:0> location = Geokit::Geocoders::GoogleGeocoder.geocode
(''Athens'')
=> #<Geokit::GeoLoc:0x99d7750 @all=[#<Geokit::GeoLoc:0x99d7750
...>],
@street_address=nil, @city="Αθήνα", @state="Αττική",
@zip=nil,
@country_code="GR", @province="Αθήνα", @success=true,
@precision="city", @full_address="Athens, Greece",
@lat=37.97918,
@lng=23.716647, @provider="google", @country="Ελλάς",
@accuracy=4,
@suggested_bounds=#<Geokit::Bounds:0x9e97e98 @sw=#<Geokit::LatLng:
0x9e97f10 @lat=37.9439911, @lng=23.6526173>, @ne=#<Geokit::LatLng:
0x9e97ed4 @lat=38.014352, @lng=23.7806767>>>
irb(main):003:0>
From my rails application
def update_cities
location = GoogleGeocoder.geocode(''Athens'')
end
from http://localhost:3000/user/update_cities
I get the following error
URI::InvalidURIError in UserController#update_cities
bad URI(is not URI?):
