NAME

Geo::Coder::RandMcnally - Geocode addresses with Rand Mcnally Maps

SYNOPSIS

    use Geo::Coder::RandMcnally;

    my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::RandMcnally->new;
    my $location = $geocoder->geocode(
        location => '9855 Woods Drive, Skokie, IL'
    );

DESCRIPTION

The Geo::Coder::RandMcnally module provides an interface to the geocoding service of Rand Mcnally Maps through an unofficial REST API.

METHODS

new

    $geocoder = Geo::Coder::RandMcnally->new();

Creates a new geocoding object.

Accepts an optional ua parameter for passing in a custom LWP::UserAgent object.

geocode

    $location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)
    @locations = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)

In scalar context, this method returns the first location result; and in list context it returns all location results.

Each location result is a hashref; a typical example looks like:

    {
      city       => "Skokie",
      country    => "USA",
      county     => "Cook County",
      lat        => "42.056628",
      lon        => "-87.761216",
      name       => "9855 Woods Dr, Skokie, 60077-1074, Cook County, IL, USA",
      postalCode => "60077-1074",
      precision  => 6,
      state      => "IL",
      street     => "9855 Woods Dr",
    }

response

    $response = $geocoder->response()

Returns an HTTP::Response object for the last submitted request. Can be used to determine the details of an error.

ua

    $ua = $geocoder->ua()
    $ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)

Accessor for the UserAgent object.

NOTES

International (non-US) queries do not appear to be supported by the service at this time.
