I’ve been using geokit-rails for about a year in production with zero problems. It integrates nicely with Rails, and is fairly quick to implement and use.
One of my use cases:
- Model that contains addresses of shipping points
- One search field that accepts a street address, zipcode, state, or city, or all 4
- Returns shipping address points from the model that are within in X miles of the search param, sorted by distance closest to search param
