GetGeoData page needs additional development #1

Description

@groundwired

The page now uses only Cicero, and doesn't provide many options (and they don't all do what they say yet). Instead, it should use the generic service and should provide an interface to the different options the service provides. In other words, there should be checkboxes for each of the types of data it can get.

When you request the service, you only get a successful service record if all the data types you request are provided. For this reason, I think the page needs to be a little smart - it should first look a service that provides everything requested, then look for one that simply geocodes, and look for a secondary service to get the other data needed.

Another possibility would be to look ahead of time at ALL the data types provided by available active services, and disable the checkboxes for those that are not actually available.

The page does not actually update records after it gets the geodata back. I think it should provide the option to do so, and if the option is selected it should fill any custom field on the target object that has the same name as the custom field on the geo_data__c object. This way you can add only the fields you like.

If the page can't update all the records you have selected (for example, if you have selected more than 10 or than the service allows), it should mark them for future scheduled updates.
