I suggest adding Premier API support to GeoKit. I looked at the code for GeoKit, and it seems pretty well-thought-out.
If you need to add extra stuff to the URL, I'd add a premier maps option or two below this line: http://github.com/andre/geokit-gem/blob/master/lib/geokit/geocoders.rb#L76 ...and change the logic for generating the URL here: http://github.com/andre/geokit-gem/blob/master/lib/geokit/geocoders.rb#L397 Ben On Apr 6, 4:22 pm, Max <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a Ruby script that uses the GMaps API to geocode a tremendous > amount of addresses, 10,000 at a time.
