Agile Web Development

You have lots of plugin choices if you want to geocode North American addresses, or find all the locations near somewhere. But few help you with forms and validation.

This plugin does three things:

• Adds +latitudefield+ and +longitudefield+ form helpers to Rails' default form builder.
• Lets your model acts_as_location, to work seamlessly with the form helpers.
• Validates the location data entered on the form and in the database.
