No initializer created, defaults to miles despite specifying it in acts_as_mappable #45

I'm specifying kms as my unit as per the instructions, as below:

class Airport < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :IATA_code, :ICAO_code, :name, :latitude, :longitude,
                  :city, :altitude_feet, :timezone_offset, :daylight_savings_time,
                  :openflight_airport_id

    acts_as_mappable :default_units => :kms,
                  :units => :kms,
                  :default_formula => :sphere,
                  :distance_field_name => :distance,
                  :lat_column_name => :latitude,
                  :lng_column_name => :longitude

end

But every distance_to calculation that I make on airport instances returns the distance in miles. There is no initialiser file, as installing the gem didn't put one in the right place.

This can be closed. Steps for resolution:

  1. Create a geokit_config.rb in /config/initializers
  2. Copy the following template into it: https://raw.github.com/amolpujari/locatable/master/config/geokit_config.rb
  3. Remove the line: Geokit::Geocoders::timeout = 3
  4. Restart server
