Overview

First you need a Mapquest API key. You can register for one here: www.mapquest.com/features/main.adp?page=developer_tools_oapi

Then you create a MapquestGeocode object and start locating addresses:

gg = Graticule.service(:map_quest).new(MAPS_API_KEY)
location = gg.locate :street => '1600 Amphitheater Pkwy', :locality => 'Mountain View', :region => 'CA'
p location.coordinates
