Installation

You can install this package through composer.

composer require spatie/geocoder

Note: use ^1.0 for Laravel 4 support

When using Laravel there is a service provider that you can make use of.

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    '...',
    'Spatie\Geocoder\GeocoderServiceProvider'
];

Geocoder also comes with a facade, which provides an easy way to call the Geocoder.

// config/app.php

'aliases' => array(
	...
	'Geocoder' => 'Spatie\Geocoder\GeocoderFacade',
)

Usage

Geocoder::getCoordinatesForQuery('Infinite Loop 1, Cupertino');

/* 
  This function returns an array with keys
  "lat" =>  37.331741000000001
  "lng" => -122.0303329
  "accuracy" => "ROOFTOP"
*/

The accuracy key can contain these values:

• 'ROOFTOP'
• 'RANGE_INTERPOLATED'
• 'GEOMETRIC_CENTER'
• 'APPROXIMATE'

You can read more information about these values on the Google Geocoding API Page

When an address is not found accuracy will contain 'NOT_FOUND'
