Instance Method Details

#distance_between(from, to, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the distance between two points. The from and to parameters are required to have lat and lng attributes. Valid options are: :units - valid values are :miles, :kms, :nms (Geokit::default_units is the default) :formula - valid values are :flat or :sphere (Geokit::default_formula is the default)

#endpoint(start, heading, distance, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Given a start point, distance, and heading (in degrees), provides an endpoint. Returns a LatLng instance. Typically, the instance method will be used instead of this method.

#geocode(location, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Geocodes a location using the multi geocoder.

Raises:

def geocode(location, options = {})
  res = Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(location, options)
  return res if res.success?
  raise Geokit::Geocoders::GeocodeError      
end

#heading_between(from, to) ⇒ Object

Returns heading in degrees (0 is north, 90 is east, 180 is south, etc) from the first point to the second point. Typicaly, the instance methods will be used instead of this method.

#midpoint_between(from, to, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the midpoint, given two points. Returns a LatLng. Typically, the instance method will be used instead of this method. Valid option:

:units - valid values are :miles, :kms, or :nms (:miles is the default)
