CSV Geocoder

Adds latitude and longitude information to your CSV file.

Usage

some_data = CSVGeocoder.new 'some_data.csv'
some_data.add_geocode
some_data.write 'data_with_geocode.csv'

Alternately, you may chain the methods:

CSVGeocoder.new('some_data.csv').add_geocode.write 'data_with_geocode.csv'

Specify Address Label

The label for the address column is assumed to be 'Address' by default. If it is not, you can specify the column name in the initializer like this:

some_data = CSVGeocoder.new 'some_data.csv', 'street address'

The address label is case insensitive.

Delay

CSV Geocoder runs on an artificial delay to avoid API query limits. The delay is set to 0.21 because Google's current limit is 5 queries per second. You can change the delay manually like this:

some_data = CSVGeocoder.new 'some_data.csv'
some_data.delay = 0.15
some_data.write 'data_with_geocode.csv'
