Geolocation is a simple and clever application which uses google maps api.

1. Geocode Module allows you to easily and quickly get information about given location.

Geocode Module returns such information as:
* country,
* country short form,
* city,
* route/street,
* street number,
* postal code,
* formatted address,
* administrative areas,
* lat,
* lng.


2. Distance Module allows you to get information about travel distance and time for a matrix of origins and destinations.

Distance Module returns such information as:
* origin address
* destination address
* duration
* distance
- kilometers
- meters
- miles

Python2 or Python3?
-------------------
Both!. Currently it supports python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4.

What do You need?
-----------------
To use this application you need to have Google API key.
[Google Maps Documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/) -- Geocoding

1. Open [APIs console](https://code.google.com/apis/console).


2. Turn On Geocode API.


3. Turn On Distance Matrix API.


4. Get your API Key.



How to install it?
-------------------
pip install geolocation-python


How to use Geocode Module?
----------------------------

```python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from geolocation.google_maps import GoogleMaps

address = "New York City Wall Street 12"

google_maps = GoogleMaps(api_key='your_google_maps_key')

location = google_maps.search(location=address) # sends search to Google Maps.

print(location.all()) # returns all locations.

my_location = location.first() # returns only first location.

print(my_location.city)
print(my_location.route)
print(my_location.street_number)
print(my_location.postal_code)

for administrative_area in my_location.administrative_area:
print("{}: {}".format(administrative_area.area_type, administrative_area.name))

print(my_location.country)
print(my_location.country_shortcut)

print(my_location.formatted_address)

print(my_location.lat)
print(my_location.lng)

# reverse geocode

lat = 40.7060008
lng = -74.0088189

my_location = google_maps.search(lat=lat, lng=lng).first()

```

How to use Distance Module?
----------------------------
Mode parameter — specifies the mode of transport to use when calculating directions.

Valid values are:
* driving (default) indicates standard driving directions using the road network.
* walking requests walking directions via pedestrian paths & sidewalks (where available).
* bicycling requests bicycling directions via bicycle paths & preferred streets (currently only available in the US and some Canadian cities).

Avoid parameter - Directions may be calculated that adhere to certain restrictions. Restrictions are indicated by use of the avoid parameter, and an argument to that parameter indicating the restriction to avoid.

The following restrictions are supported:
* avoid=tolls
* avoid=highways
* avoid=ferries

```python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from geolocation.google_maps import GoogleMaps
from geolocation.distance_matrix import const

origins = ['rybnik', 'oslo']
destinations = ['zagrzeb']

google_maps = GoogleMaps(api_key='your_google_maps_key')

items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations).all() # default mode parameter is const.MODE_DRIVING.

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration # returns string.
print 'duration datetime: %s' % item.duration.datetime # returns datetime.

# you can also get items from duration, returns int() values.
print 'duration days: %s' % item.duration.days
print 'duration hours: %s' % item.duration.hours
print 'duration minutes: %s' % item.duration.minutes
print 'duration seconds: %s' % item.duration.seconds
```

Mode Bicycling:
```python
items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations, const.MODE_BICYCLING).all()

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration
```

Mode Walking:
```python
items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations, const.MODE_WALKING).all()

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration
```

Mode Highway:
```python
items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations, avoid=const.AVOID_HIGHWAYS).all()

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration
```

Avoid Ferries:
```python
items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations, avoid=const.AVOID_FERRIES).all()

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration
```

Avoid Tolls:
```python
items = google_maps.distance(origins, destinations, avoid=const.AVOID_TOLLS).all()

for item in items:
print 'origin: %s' % item.origin
print 'destination: %s' % item.destination
print 'km: %s' % item.distance.kilometers
print 'm: %s' % item.distance.meters
print 'miles: %s' % item.distance.miles
print 'duration: %s' % item.duration
```
