Google Maps API with Rails 3.0

Question

I\'m wondering if anyone out there has worked with Google Maps API with Rails 3. I\'m looking for launching ideas, gems, plugins etc.

I played around with ym4r-gm p

Answer 1

it all depends what you want to do I use this as a gem "https://github.com/apneadiving/Google-Maps-for-Rails" and works wonderful I started learning rails a few days I go and I got it up and running in like 20min.

Answer 2

you can always check out ruby toolbox for current status of gems because some become inactive over time.Also, decide which gems to use depending on application.
Now GMaps-for-Rails is currently widely used.

Answer 3

Cartographer plug-in supports Rails 3+ ,

It has been re-written to work for huge number of markers and clusters

it integrates pretty well with google maps v3 and rails 3 , http://grati.la/cartorbflw

Answer 4

Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.

Answer 5

YM4R doesn't offer much beyond a few wrappers of the API functions. I used YM4R for a while but then ditched it in favour of using the Google Maps API directly (from JavaScript). Perhaps it's an option you could consider too?

Answer 6

there is GMaps v3 gem for Rails 3 (also 2.3) called BHM Google Maps didn't have much luck with it, but you can give it a try
