Testing Tool

To make it easier Here Geocoder comes with a tool for testing the geocode functionality. After installation access http://YOU_PROJECT_LOCAL_URL/here_geocoder and you will be able to test the geocoding feature without having to code.

The testing tool only will be available when APP_ENV is not running on production (prod or production).

Roadmap

• Unit Tests
• Add batch geolocation support
• Add batch places support
• Add Facade for simpler access to geocode and future methods
