Graticule is an API that provides a common interface to popular geocoding services.

Graticule version 0.2.0 has been released with support for PostcodeAnywhere and Local Search Maps, both which support international addresses.

g = Graticule.service(:postcode_anywhere).new('account, 'license')
g.locate :locality => 'London', :country => 'UK'

Support was also added for geocoding IP addresses:

g = Graticule.service(:host_ip).new
g.locate '64.233.187.99'
