Leaflet WMS + GetFeatureInfo

There are a bunch of reasons why this is convoluted, mostly in building the URL to make the request:

  1. You have to rely on an AJAX request, this example uses jQuery
  2. To make a GetFeatureInfo request, you must provide a BBOX for a image, and the pixel coordinates for the part of the image that you want info from. A couple of squirrely lines of Leaflet code can give you that.
  3. Output formats. The info_format parameter in the request. We don't know a priori which will be supported by a WMS that we might make a request to. See Geoserver's docs for what formats are available from Geoserver. That won't be the same from WMS to WMS, however.
  4. WMS services return XML docs when there's a mistake in the request or in processing. This sends an HTTP 200, which jQuery doesn't think is an error.

An AngularJS Service for intelligently geocoding addresses using Google's API. Makes use of localStorage (via the ngStorage package) to avoid unnecessary trips to the server. Queries Google's API synchronously to avoid `google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT`
