rails-geocoder

I need to be able to see locally the output of geocoder countries and cities for a message like 'Hi, Yu are in {country detected}. To be able to use geocoder in local/dev mode,I have followed some SO advice and put: in config/environment/development.rb class ActionDispatch::Request def remote_ip "84.34.156.155" # fake ip for example end end and in application_controller def lookup_ip_location if Rails.env.development? Geocoder.search(request.remote_ip).first else request.location end end on my homepage if I put: You are in <%= request.location.country %> it displays locally "you are in

I am working on Android application which allows user to enter the address and converts to latitude and longitude for further use. I am using following code to get lat and long addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName("11381 zapata ave san diego", 1); if (addresses.size() > 0) { double latitude = addresses.get(0).getLatitude(); double longitude = addresses.get(0).getLongitude(); addGeoFence(latitude, longitude); tlFragmentMap.setLatLong(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)); return true; } else { return false; } This Geocoder works fine on some of the phones only. Can any one suggest me a way to

The geocoder gem will automatically reverse geocode on save if the line after_validation :reverse_geocode is included in the model. This results in a long string of text being saved as the address, though - the format is something like "Street Name, City Name, County Name, State Name, Zip Code, Country Name". I'm only interested in the street name for this particular project, so I'm wondering if there's a way to modify the after_validation call to only save that information. If I do the reverse geocoding manually, I can access the road value in the result: place = Place.first result = Geocoder

In my sesions table I'm storing country and city name using the request method, now, in ubuntu server it works well but in redhat I am getting this error NoMethodError (undefined method `city' for nil:NilClass) I have tried this issue solution and I restarted my server but it doesn't work for me. In both servers I am using Passenger + Apache I have found the issue, it was that the search IP was taking too much time, so I created an initializer and changed the default timeout config/initializer/geocoder.rb Geocoder.configure( :timeout => 20 ) How I found I open the rails c and search my IP $

I followed this Geocoder Railscast & I'm playing around with it to see if I can add validation to the longitude & latitude coordinates returned by the Geocoder Gem incase the user inputs a faulty address that does not return any longitude & latitude coordinates. I was able to get this working to a point with the code below but when I enter a correct address it gives the user a validation error the first time they submit the form, even though longitude & latitude coordinates where returned. The second time the user submits the form it works. I suspect this is happening as when the user submits
