Constructor Details

#initialize(*geocoders, &acceptable) ⇒ Multi

The Multi geocoder allows you to use multiple geocoders in succession.

geocoder = Graticule.service(:multi).new(
  Graticule.service(:google).new("api_key"),
  Graticule.service(:yahoo).new("api_key"),
)
geocoder.locate '49423' # <= tries geocoders in succession

The Multi geocoder will try the geocoders in order if a Graticule::AddressError is raised. You can customize this behavior by passing in a block to the Multi geocoder. For example, to try the geocoders until one returns a result with a high enough precision:

geocoder = Graticule.service(:multi).new(geocoders) do |result|
  [:address, :street].include?(result.precision)
end

Geocoders will be tried in order until the block returned true for one of the results

Use the :timeout option to specify the number of seconds to allow for each geocoder before raising a Timout::Error (defaults to 10 seconds).

Graticule.service(:multi).new(geocoders, :timeout => 3)
