Small gem to get timezone info by known coordinates using google timezone api.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'google_timezone'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install google_timezone
You can pass latitude and longitude to gem in several ways: with array or separated values.
GoogleTimezone.fetch([latitude, longitude])
GoogleTimezone.fetch(latitude, longitude)
Any other options which are described in google's documentation you can pass via options hash
GoogleTimezone.fetch(latitude, longitude, language: 'en', signature: 'key')
It uses latitude and longitude to retrieve timezone info.
result = GoogleTimezone.fetch(50.1196004, 8.679918299999999)
result.time_zone_name => 'Europe/Berlin'
It will get GoogleTimezone::Result object which maps major google api responce items named in snake case.

Also there is GoogleTimezone::Result#success? method. It returns true if responce was successful.
The bang version fetch! raises an GoogleTimezone::Error exception with error message if response from Google wasn't success.
