  ### Latitude/Longitude Order in MongoDB
130
148
 
131
149
  Everywhere coordinates are passed to methods as two-element arrays, Geocoder expects them to be in the order: `[lat, lon]`. However, as per [the GeoJSON spec](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#positions), MongoDB requires that coordinates be stored longitude-first (`[lon, lat]`), so internally they are stored "backwards." Geocoder's methods attempt to hide this, so calling `obj.to_coordinates` (a method added to the object by Geocoder via `geocoded_by`) returns coordinates in the conventional order:
132
150
 
133
- obj.to_coordinates # => [37.7941013, -122.3951096] # [lat, lon]
151
+ ```ruby
152
+ obj.to_coordinates # => [37.7941013, -122.3951096] # [lat, lon]
153
+ ```
134
154
 
135
155
  whereas calling the object's coordinates attribute directly (`obj.coordinates` by default) returns the internal representation which is probably the reverse of what you want:
136
156
 
137
- obj.coordinates # => [-122.3951096, 37.7941013] # [lon, lat]

223
259

  Please see the [source code for each lookup](https://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder/tree/master/lib/geocoder/lookups) to learn about directly supported parameters. Parameters which are not directly supported can be specified using the `:params` option, which appends options to the query string of the geocoding request. For example:

- # Nominatim's `countrycodes` parameter:
