similar to: geokit - using :through to connect models

I am new to rails and have been scouring the web for the past two days trying to figure out 2 things. 1) I am currently using a form with 2 models. The first is person, the second is address. I attempted to duplicate the two models on one form as seen in Advanced Rails Recipes and Railscasts, and they work fine - except when there are validation issues on the address piece it just returns saying

Hello generous coders, I''m having difficulty getting a couple of tests to pass. I have an address model which takes an address and with a callback on save and update passes the address to google''s geocoding service.

Hi all, I''m trying to use the excellent GeoKit plugin to geocode addresses entered by users. I use GeoKit to get latitude and longitude values, then plot these using Google Maps. The problem I have is that the maps produced tend to be slightly off where they should be. Nearby addresses seem to be grouped to one point, which suggests that the problem is in rounding the lat and lng values

I converted the rails geokit plugin to a merb plugin today. Anyone interested in testing it out? It seems to be working great for me. If so, where should I put it? I don''t have a blog up or anything right now. Been meaning to do that, but haven''t had the time. -Dusty Doris

i''m trying geokit and loving it, but i''m seeing really odd stuff on distances, I''m wondering about the coordinates i''ve got in my DB. I don''t think they''re standard format, they look like this. east 6''41.6 north 45''24.8 Can anyone advise please ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using Geokit gem to query mappable records within some distance to a mappable user. When geocoding an address such as "Madrid", lat&lng represent a point, in this case the center of the city. Suppose I have some records with location "Madrid", which are mapped with lat & lng to the center of the city. When querying for the closest record, the inaccuracy

Hi, after spending hours on getting geokit and ym4r running I don''t know how to do or how to getting a test running.

I''m new to Rails3, and I''m just trying to get one last thing to work before I call it a night. The situation is the following (please if the code is horrible, just let me know, still learning): I want to log a dive. I might have a new location on that dive at which point I have to create a new Location, and then create the dive. A dive has_one location. A location has_many

I''m just curious about this, since my solution involved stubbing a call to GeoIp. Is there a good rule of thumb for when you make exceptions to the ''no stubbing'' philosophy of Cucumber? My step was: "Given I am accessing the site from Japan," but I can think of other situations - mostly when interacting with web services, that I''d probably

Dear list, I have a long list of towns in Africa and would need to get their geographical coordinates. The Google query [/TownName Country coordinates/] works for most of the TownNames I have and give a nicely formatted Google output (try Ingall Niger coordinates for an example). I would like to launch a loop on the list of names I have and automatically extract the coordinates given by Google.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a library that provides an API to support map scrolling, like the one available in google maps. This is, I would like to create a user interface where the user is able to see a small part of a large map. It can then move the view, thus observing another part of the map. Additionally, I would also like to provide a zoom mechanism. Thanks in advance. --
