Rails 3 geo positioning

Question

I am developing a Rails 3 application which I intend to use GEO positioning (long,lat). Both to save the users current position and to use this to find people in the near proximity.

Do you guys know of a good stabile Rails 3 gem that can do GEO stuff?

Thankful for all tips!

Answer 1

Geocoder looks great and supports rails 3.

Answer 2

See http://ruby-toolbox.com/categories/geocoding___maps.html
