Instance Method Details
#bearing_between(point1, point2, options = {}) ⇒ Object
Bearing between two points on Earth. Returns a number of degrees from due north (clockwise).
See Geocoder::Calculations.distance_between for ways of specifying the points. Also accepts an options hash:
-
:method
-:linear
or:spherical
; the spherical method is “correct” in that it returns the shortest path (one along a great circle) but the linear method is less confusing (returns due east or west when given two points with the same latitude). Use Geocoder.configure(:distances => …) to configure calculation method.

#bounding_box(point, radius, options = {}) ⇒ Object
Returns coordinates of the southwest and northeast corners of a box with the given point at its center. The radius is the shortest distance from the center point to any side of the box (the length of each side is twice the radius).
This is useful for finding corner points of a map viewport, or for roughly limiting the possible solutions in a geo-spatial search (ActiveRecord queries use it thusly).
See Geocoder::Calculations.distance_between for ways of specifying the point. Also accepts an options hash:
-
:units
-:mi
or:km
. Use Geocoder.configure(:units => …) to configure default units.

#distance_between(point1, point2, options = {}) ⇒ Object
Distance between two points on Earth (Haversine formula). Takes two points and an options hash. The points are given in the same way that points are given to all Geocoder methods that accept points as arguments. They can be:

a geocoded object (one which implements a
to_coordinates
method which returns a [lat,lon] array

array. Note that if a string is passed this may be a slow-
running method and may return nil.
