Reported by github.com/joelmats. The array passed to
Geocoder::Calculations.geographic_center was being modified in-place.

Multiply by .707 (sin(45)) instead of .5.

Get rid of space after comma, if any (Google was returning no results).

Just for interface consistency across database types. NOT for accuracy!

Was ignoring non-ASCII characters. Thanks to github.com/supergivi for
reporting the bug.

Response to Issue #27, posted by github.com/avioing.

Also clean up code comments.

This allows easier substitution of custom values.

This was yielding incorrect bearing calculations (east and west were
treated as the same direction).

Only worked with MySQL.

Was preventing other test from running.

Improve comments, make code style consistent with rest of Geocoder, and
remove options (keep it dead simple).

Adds methods for calculating the bearing between two points and for converting that bearing into a compass point, e.g. North or South West. If you want fewer or additional compass points (e.g. South By South West, or just NESW) provide a second parameter containing your array of points, e.g. Geocoder::Calculations::compass_point(90,['north','east','south','west'])

Add option "bearing". When set to :line or :spherical it returns the bearing of the record from the search point, i.e. if the record is due north you'll see 0.0 returned. :line is a straight line, :spherical is the shortest path where the bearing between two points varies with distance to take into account curvature of the planet.

...for array methods mistakenly called on a Result object. This is no
longer likely to be a problem now that Geocoder.search returns an array.
