Just use the Google geocoder.</p> <pre> geocoder = Graticule.service(:google).new API_KEY location = geocoder.locate :street =&gt; "…", :locality =&gt; "London", :country =&gt; "GB" </pre> chris tag:www.opensoul.org,2007-07-07:3178:14011 2009-05-21T11:03:36Z 2009-05-21T11:03:36Z <p>hi im trying to find an example of the UK geocoder for part of my final year project…..nothing seems to be coming up, has anyone got any links to some source code? thanks!!</p> Brandon tag:www.opensoul.org,2007-07-07:3178:3608 2007-09-05T19:47:06Z 2007-09-05T19:47:06Z <p>Anthony: I can’t say for certain, but doing a lookup as users access your site shouldn’t be considered “batch processing” and within the terms and conditions.</p> Anthony Smith tag:www.opensoul.org,2007-07-07:3178:3604 2007-09-05T13:38:51Z 2007-09-05T13:38:51Z <p>I really want to know whether its permitted to use the <span class="caps">API</span> to get a long/lat position from a UK postcode on a website registration form. In the terms and conditions it says something about batch processing… but is this something different? thank!</p> Cameron tag:www.opensoul.org,2007-07-07:3178:3186 2007-07-09T12:21:54Z 2007-07-09T12:21:54Z <p>Been playing with it quickly on my lunch break and it seems fairly solid so far. Had attempted to integrate a_a_g and graticule into a project i’m working on last week and gave up due to the lack of a good, free geocoding service – the timing with this couldn’t have been better!</p>
