 So far we have looked at shortcuts for assigning geocoding results to object attributes. However, if you need to do something fancy you can skip the auto-assignment by providing a block (takes the object to be geocoded and an array of <tt>Geocoder::Result</tt> objects) in which you handle the parsed geocoding result any way you like, for example:
 
-  reverse_geocoded_by :lat, :lon do |obj,results|
+  reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude do |obj,results|
     if geo = results.first
       obj.city    = geo.city
       obj.zipcode = geo.postal_code
