Hi, I doing an integration my rails application with google map. For that I have installed the "google-geocode (1.2.1)" gem. I have written following code to get the longitude and latitude of the address. require 'rubygems' &nbsp;&nbsp;require 'google\_geocode' &nbsp;&nbsp;def index &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gg = GoogleGeocode.new "#{Api\_Key}" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;loc = gg.locate('Pune') &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;puts loc.inspect &nbsp;&nbsp;end Whenever I running this code I getting following error "TypeError: can't convert String into Integer &nbsp;&nbsp;from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/google-geocode-1.2.1/lib/google\_geoc ode.rb:72:in `' &nbsp;&nbsp;from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/google-geocode-1.2.1/lib/google\_geoc ode.rb:72:in `check_error' &nbsp;&nbsp;from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rc-rest-4.0/lib/rc_rest.rb:128:in `get' &nbsp;&nbsp;from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/google-geocode-1.2.1/lib/google\_geoc ode.rb:51:in `locate' &nbsp;&nbsp;from (irb):7" Can anyone tell me what is the wrong with my code? Thanks, Tushar
