I''m currently planning a social app in Rails that relies on being able to see how far you are from everyone else. It''s my intention to store rough geo-coordinates as part of the sign up process. My intention is to capture their zipcode or postal code, and then be able to query a webservice once for that data. It''s also possible that there might be a database or even

Hey, Does anybody know of a good Geocode library for Ruby, similar to Perl''s Geocode::Postal, that i could use in my rail app?

Dear all, I am trying to avoid a for loop here and wonder if the following is possible: I have a data.frame with 6 columns and i want to get a cross-correlogram (by using ccf) . Obivously ccf only accepts two columns at once and then returms a list. In fact, with a for loop i?d do the following for (i in 1:6) { x[[i]]=ccf(mydf[,i],mydf[,6]) } Is there any chance to the same with

Howdy, I had an application perfect for ActiveResource, which I do realize is not finished. Anyway, I froze my app to edge and then defined a class: class Address < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long" End I tried to use it from the console but I get the trace below. It appears it can''t

Hi all, I''m using ferret 11.4 together with acts_as_ferret and I''ve indexed the geonames.org country files. These files contain worldwide locations in UTF-8 with all their different spellings each.

In response to an earlier discussion about finding the fastest/best/nearest CRAN site, I geocoded (using my geonames package) the locations of the CRAN sites returned by getCRANmirrors. I've mapped them here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Cranography/ The geocoding may have got it wrong, so if CRAN site maintainers want to send me a real lat-long (in WGS 84 aka EPSG:4326) I'll

I''ve installed ferret 0.10.9 together with the latest acts_as_ferret using Windows XP and indexed a location database (geonames.org) with Location.rebuild_index. The data is in utf-8.

i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data. For example, create a map of the US and color each zipcode region by its population using two vectors z,p containing the zipcode and population,
