Nice Article I have also been developing some geeanrl purpose Geo libraries, specifically targeted towards providing a nice DSL syntax.geo-units, geo-distance, geo-calc, geo-vectors, geo-point, geo-shapes, geo-magicAll these gems have been designed to be fully interoperable. It would be really cool if someone could create some higher abstraction library to merge the functionality of all the ruby Geo libraries and wrap them in a nice DSL that abstracts much of the complexity away. It would also be nice with a design that allows for development of adapters for multiple kinds of Data Stores, not only for Active Record.Cheers!Kris

Make sure you have the latest version of activerecord-postgis-adapter (0.4.3). Make sure your database.yml is set to use adapter “postgis” (rather than “postgresql”).
Those are the two items I can think of off the top of my head. If it’s still serializing incorrectly, email me and we can try to dig deeper.

Loved your talk at RailsConf. Thanks for sharing with us!

I’ve been trying to implement the in_rect (slide 33, exactly as written), but `where{coords.op(‘&&’, box)}` always serializes box to a YAML dump, causing the query to fail.

Am I doing something wrong or do I need to use HEAD instead of 0.3.12?

I was about to ask you if you could put the slides here and the fact is that they are already published!
Awesome work Daniel

Hi Ben,

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to go add some notes to that page. Guess I just needed a kick in the butt. The wiki version is now updated.

Hi Daniel,

In case you’re interested, I thought I’d let you know we have an entry for your talk in the RailsConf 2012 wiki:

https://github.com/newhavenrb/railsconf2012/wiki/Getting-Down-To-Earth%3A-Geospatial-Analysis-With-Rails

If you’d like to contribute anything to that page, I’m sure some people would find it useful. We’ve gotten over 150 watchers on GitHub so far, so it’s quickly becoming a community resource.

Best wishes,

Ben

Comment on RGeo updates for Rails 3.2 by fab

Thanks a lot for all the work on Rgeo and this great serie of articles! I’m just starting a new GIS Rails 3.2 app and it’s really useful for a gis beginner.

Comment on Geo-Rails part 8: ZCTA Lookup, A Worked Example by Jeremy

Great series. The effort to bring a strong geo library to the rails community is much needed and appreciated.

After following your series I have all my zipcode data loaded and read to go. Now I just need to know how to draw the polygons to a map. So my vote is for a visualization tools series.

Thanks.
