);

DESCRIPTION

The Geo::Coder::Ovi module provides an interface to the geocoding service of Ovi Maps through the unofficial (as-yet unpublished) REST API.

METHODS

new

$geocoder = Geo::Coder::Ovi->new();

Creates a new geocoding object.

Accepts an optional language parameter to specify the preferred language of the response. The language code is composed of the two-letter ISO-639 abbreviation and an optional two-letter ISO-3166 country code. Example values: 'en', 'en-US'.

Accepts an optional ua parameter for passing in a custom LWP::UserAgent object.

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:

{ categories => [ { id => 9000284 } ], properties => { addrAreaotherName => "West Harrison", addrCityName => "Harrison", addrCountryCode => "USA", addrCountryName => "United States of America", addrCountyName => "Westchester", addrHouseAlpha => "", addrHouseNumber => 102, addrPopulation => 0, addrPostalCode => 10604, addrStateName => "New York", addrStreetName => "Corporate Park Dr", geoLatitude => "41.01945027709007", geoLongitude => "-73.72334106825292", language => "ENG", title => "102 Corporate Park Dr, Harrison NY 10604, United States of America", type => "Street", }, }

response

$response = $geocoder->response()

Returns an HTTP::Response object for the last submitted request. Can be used to determine the details of an error.

ua

$ua = $geocoder->ua()
$ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)
