Warranty: None, at all, whatsoever, use at your own risk, may burn down your house and knock over your garbage cans and return the car with the gas level on “E” and refuse to return your lawnmower even though it’s now 7 months later and you’re growing a small rainforest out back… might fall asleep while watching your children, forget to pay the electric bill, and run up massive credit card debt. In other words. You’re on your own. Dont come crying to me!

To use this client you have to first apply for a mapquest openapi key here Then you must add “*” as a referrer under “my account” for your openapi ke

Example usage:

mq = Mapquest.new(“foobazbazbooblah”)

#Geocoding
myLocation = {
:address => “555 17th Street, Suite 1600”,
:city => “Denver”,
:state => “Colorado”,
:zip => 80202,
}
puts mq.geocode(myLocation).inspect

#Routing
route_request = {
:addressOrigin => {
:name => “Yahoo!”,
:address => “701 First Avenue”,
:city => “Sunnyvale”,
:stateProvince => “ca”,
},
:addressDestination => {
:name => “Google”,
:address => “1600 Amphitheatre Parkway”,
:city => ” Mountain View”,
:stateProvince => “ca”,
},
}
puts mq.route(route_request).inspect

As simple as it gets, no? Cheers!
