NAME

Geo::Coder::Navteq - Geocode addresses with the Navteq MapTP AJAX API

SYNOPSIS

    use Geo::Coder::Navteq;

    my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Navteq->new(
        appkey => 'Your Navteq MapTP AJAX API application key'
    );
    my $location = $geocoder->geocode(
        location => '425 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL'
    );

DESCRIPTION

The Geo::Coder::Navteq module provides an interface to the geocoding functionality of the Navteq MapTP AJAX API.

METHODS

new

    $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Navteq->new(
        'Your MapTP AJAX API application key'
    )
    $geocoder = Geo::Coder::Navteq->new(
        key   => 'Your MapTP AJAX API application key',
        debug => 1,
    )

Creates a new geocoding object.

An application key can be obtained here: http://www.nn4d.com/site/global/build/web_apis/ajax_api_20/free_ajax_key/ajax_free_register.jsp

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:

    {
        Coordinate => {
            Elevation => "0.0",
            Latitude  => "41.88447265625",
            Longitude => "-87.6388753255208"
        },

            S        => 100,
            Size     => 1,
            Type     => 6,
            Variance => "0.0029503035",

            Y1       => "41.8844",

        },
        Quality    => "Exact",
        Similarity => "1.0",
    }
