I'm not sure where its data comes from -- maybe scraping google maps? http://jystewart.net/process/2007/03/extending-acts_as_geocodable/ I’ve just blogged about adding support for localsearchmaps.com to acts_as_locateable, and that may be one you’d like to look into.

Not directly related to Geocoding.. but still.. Secondly I was wondering how the Geokit manages with > 1 million rows on MySQL. I created something similar to Geokit but my experience is that those queries are slow. One (still slow) solution is boundingboxing.. does Geokit support this? Let me know!

In the short term, for anyone trying to geocode UK addresses, I've hacked together a simple solution using GMaps screen scraping at http://www.mobaconsulting.co.uk/2007/3/3/uk-address-geocoding-with-geokit Might be useful for others. Rgds, Steve Hi Bill,
