-  script/generate migration AddLatitudeAndLongitudeToModel \

-Then tell your model about it:
+C. Tell geocoder where your model stores its address:
 
-  geocoded_by :address                 # attribute/method to use for geocoding
-  after_validation :fetch_coordinates  # fetch and assign coordinates before saving
