Adding "where" to your Ruby Apps

Applying geolocation features to any application is just a matter of creativity. But if creativity flows then it's a matter of lack of tools. We currently have success cases of the popularization and democratization of geographic information systems (GIS) such as Google Maps and Foursquare. But GIS is not just about geocoding an address or trace a route. Have you ever thought about how to add a "geo"-factor into your application? What the possibilities are? Which tools actually support them? We will present tools and techniques so you can add from a simple geocoding up until controlling the power supply of the entire country.
