=head1 NAME
Geo::Coder::RandMcnally - Geocode addresses with Rand Mcnally Maps
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Geo::Coder::RandMcnally;
my $geocoder = Geo::Coder::RandMcnally->new;
my $location = $geocoder->geocode(
location => '9855 Woods Drive, Skokie, IL'
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Geo::Coder::RandMcnally> module provides an interface to the geocoding
service of Rand Mcnally Maps through an unofficial REST API.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::RandMcnally->new();
Creates a new geocoding object.
Accepts an optional B<ua> parameter for passing in a custom LWP::UserAgent
object.
=head2 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",
}
=head2 response
$response = $geocoder->response()
Returns an L<HTTP::Response> object for the last submitted request. Can be
used to determine the details of an error.
=head2 ua
$ua = $geocoder->ua()
$ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)
Accessor for the UserAgent object.
=head1 NOTES
International (non-US) queries do not appear to be supported by the service
at this time.
