I found a small bug in the way geocoder.locate works. It calls Graticule::Location.to_s to get the formatted string to send to the geocoding service (I only tested the google service). The problem is that the to_s method insert a \n into the string, which makes the google geocoder hiccup with certain geocoding queries and give you geodata (my example was :street =&gt; ‘Kampstraße 4’ , :zipcode =&gt; ‘20357’, :locality =&gt; ‘Hamburg’, :country =&gt; ‘DE’). Changeing the to_s method to the following solves the problem: <pre> module Graticule class Location def to_s(options = {}) options = {:coordinates =&gt; false, :country =&gt; true}.merge(options) result = "" result &lt;&lt; "#{street}," if street result &lt;&lt; [locality, [region, postal_code].compact.join(" ")].compact.join(", ") result &lt;&lt; " #{country}" if options[:country] && country result &lt;&lt; "\nlatitude: #{latitude}, longitude: #{longitude}" if options[:coordinates] && [latitude, longitude].any? result end end end </pre> Kind regards, Andy Nahapetian link: nahapetian.com
