Hi, If I submit the following address to Google's geocode service: 600 Naito Parkway, Portland, OR 97209
.. I get two addresses returned (as expected) The two addresses returned are: 600 SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97209, USA (Thoroughfare: 600 SW Naito Pkwy) 600 NW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97209, USA (Thoroughfare: 600 NW Naito Pkwy) Here's the Google geocode response link: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=600%20Naito%20Parkway,%20Portland,%20OR%20&key=ABQIAAAAzMUFFnT9uH0xq39J0Y4kbhTJQa0g3IQ9GZqIMmInSLzwtGDKaBR6j135zrztfTGVOm2QlWnkaidDIQ&output=xml I want to parse this xml response to extract each thoroughfare element (the address without the city, state, and zipcode). However, the code I'm using, which is basically lifted from the ym4r gem's Geocode module (because I'm having the same problem with it..) is returning the same thoroughfare twice. I'm sure it's just not using REXML correctly. Here's my code.. require 'rexml/document' require 'open-uri' url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=600%20Naito%20Parkway,%20Portland,%20OR%20&key=ABQIAAAAzMUFFnT9uH0xq39J0Y4kbhTJQa0g3IQ9GZqIMmInSLzwtGDKaBR6j135zrztfTGVOm2QlWnkaidDIQ&output=xml"; xml = open(url).read doc = REXML::Document.new(xml) response = doc.elements['//Response'] response.elements.each("Placemark") do |placemark| data = placemark.elements data_thoroughfare = data['//ThoroughfareName'] puts data_thoroughfare.text end The output is: 600 SW Naito Pkwy 600 SW Naito Pkwy Any idea how I can correctly grab each thoroughfare?
