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

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

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

Hey guys! Does anyone knows how to a ruby program communicate with the Google API, which one is written in Javascript ? I''ve heard something about a wrapper to do the communication, but i didn''t find anything yet. I know a plugin for rails can do that (geokit), but i don''t know how.

I can successfully return all entries within 15 miles of a particular point, and I can successfully return all entries that match a search query, but I''m having trouble combining the two together and doing pagination on them. Basically, for the range query, you do a SQL query that returns all

This implies that I need to support complex numbers as a datatype with LLVM. Its fairly straightforward to create a struct of two floats (or doubles, etc.) and do the simple operations like add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc. However, things get

Hi, Just thought it was weird that Ruby doesn''t automatically cast ints to floats. Seems so un-rubyish irb(main):006:0> 12/16 => 0 irb(main):007:0> 12.to_f / 16.to_f => 0.75 Jeroen

So now, i have two models: Article and User. Articles

Have an app that works fine in development but not production behind pound that uses Geokit. I''ve figured out the API key is wrong. is there a way to configure each mongrel with a different API key? if there a variable i can check in the initializer and provide the right API key for that port since it''s going to be based on the internal address:port the connection is on?
