SUBROUTINES/METHODS

geocode

This is called by Geo::Coder::Many - it sends the geocoding request (via Geo::Coder::Mapquest) and extracts the resulting location, returning it in a standard Geo::Coder::Many::Response.

NOTE: currently precision is hard coded to undef! We need to fix it to interpret the code returned by mapquest and assigning a meaningful precision

get_name

Returns the name of the geocoder type - used by Geo::Coder::Many
