+Geocoding Service ("Lookup") Configuration
+------------------------------------------
 
-By default Geocoder uses Google's geocoding API to fetch coordinates and street addresses (FreeGeoIP is the default for IP address info). However there are several other APIs supported, as well as a variety of settings. Please see the listing and comparison below for details on specific geocoding services (not all settings are supported by all services). Some common configuration options are:
+Geocoder supports a variety of street and IP address geocoding services. The default lookups are `:google` for street addresses and `:freegeoip` for IP addresses.

+You can also configure multiple geocoding services at once, like this:

+    Geocoder.configure(

+      :timeout => 2,
+      :cache => Redis.new,
+
+      :yandex => {

+      }
+
+    )
+
+The above combines global and service-specific options and could be useful if you specify different geocoding services for different models or under different conditions. Lookup-specific settings override global settings so, for example, in the above the timeout for all lookups would be 2 seconds, except for Yandex which would be 5.
