The big scary comment from the carmen repo owner makes me a bit leery of using carmen, though with 200+ forks, it looks like it won't be going away anytime soon, either.

I've used MaxMind's database with other languages (perl) and I know it's good, too. I'm happier letting someone else manage the collection and dissemination of geographic data that I can update, than needing to update a gem for data updates.

I think the biggest wins, by far, are the cities and the update mechanism.

Have you seen this one? https://github.com/proletarian/carmen-rails I've used it a couple of times, but I will give yours a try as well.

Ouch, that awkward moment that you realize that someone already done what you just made - this would save me some time :P

I think the carmen interface is better than mine, but in my defense, carmen doesn't provide a list of cities nor have a update mechanism. In my country new cities are created weekly, so its necessary to maintain the base updated. But its good to know this gem, and I will be glad if you know if there's a gem that provides a list of cities too.

Thanks.
