I using dm-geokit ([GitHub - mkingme/dm-geokit: Geokit for DataMapper](http://github.com/mattking17/dm-geokit)) in a Sinatra  
application. I want to populate missing fields (lat/lon) from provided  
information like If I provide full street address I want to Geocode and  
populate lat/lon when I call save on Datamapper object.

Would appreciate any help 🙂
