About eighteen months ago I compiled a series of reviews of Ruby on Rails plugins concerned with geography. I put together a comparison chart and posted it on this blog. It subsequently found a new home on a wiki, but lately that wiki has rarely been accessible so I decided it was time to move it all back into this site.
You can now find the comparison chart at: http://jystewart.net/process/resources/rails-geo-plugins/
A few updates have been lost along the way as they were solely made on the wiki, but hopefully it’s still of use. Since I published the original reviews and chart my attention has wandered a little from the geo plugin scene, so please do flag up any new plugins, changes in features or fixes that I may have missed. I’m going to be trying to check through all the existing listings to update them but that may take a while, so comments here may well encourage me to focus more quickly.

The homepage for YM4R (http://thepochisuperstarmegashow.com/projects/#ym4r) and acs_as_geocode (http://plugins.mosaicglobe.org/svn/trunk/acts_as_geocode/) are dead.
Thanks.
acts_as_geocode seems to be totally gone. YM4R can be found on github, so I’ve updated that link to point there.
