How to start with this gem?

Please update document.

Created a buildpack to download JSON data and get it prepared to be used with this gem

https://github.com/kodolabs/heroku-buildpack-cities

guys yoiu have a major issue in lib/cities.rb
The error popsup when i do cities = Cities.cities_in_country('FR')

/cities-0.3.1/lib/cities.rb:30:in has_data?': undefined method exists?' for Dir:Class (NoMethodError)

This is the method involve
def has_data?
data_path && Dir.exists?(data_path)
end

it should be
def has_data?
data_path && Dir.exist?(data_path)
end

Am I doing something wrong? Any specific name for those cities? =/

Country.new(:us).cities.values.select { |c| c.region == 'NY' && c.name.include?('New') }.map { |c| [c.name,c.region] }.sort

Where you get it?

It seems too old (I saw the population of my homeland cities).

How can I get a fresh data?

Im trying out this work, I find it useful, I am just wondering why the caching work for cities that is done in master is not into the latest version yet.

Hi! is this file https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cities-gem/cities.tar.gz being updated?

I saw in the code that the data is loaded in the load_country_data private method.
It'd be good if this method was customizable (using my lambda or proc, for example)?
This would allow to load data from other sources instead of JSON files.

I added "gem cities" into my Gemfile and bundled. I also downloaded the data. Then I opened my console and typed

2.1.1 :002 > require 'cities'
 => false 
2.1.1 :003 > Cities
NameError: uninitialized constant Cities

Was I doing something wrong? I'm on rails 4.1.0 and I have also countries gem in my Gemfile. It is defined right before cities gem.

Hi!
I created a small function - fetching cities for particular state/subdivision object. I created it regarding my project, but I believe it will be useful for many users of this gem.
