which returns a [lat,lon] array
* a geocoded object (one which implements a +to_coordinates+ method
* a geocodable address (string)
* an array of coordinates ([lat,lon])

Geocoder methods that accept points as arguments. It can be:
The starting point is given in the same way that points are given to all
an endpoint.
Given a start point, heading (in degrees), and distance, provides
