Drupal Module to geocode address fields using ajax.
INTRODUCTION

populate any geofield field, doing it with ajax.
REQUIREMENTS
This module requires the following modules enabled in Drupal:
- Geofield
- Geocode
- Address
This module also requires a map provider.
INSTALLATION

HOW IT WORKS
To get a correctly function it needs the address field and geofield field.
It takes the values of that fields Country,Street Address, Postal Code and City and formats
the string to ${add1} ${add2}, ${locality}, ${postal_code} ${country} to be seek by geocode module through ajax using the provider that's set in geocode configuration.
It can position the first resolved address automatically in geofield widget (if checkbox is checked) or do it manually when a select option is picked.
