Plugins - GoogleMaps
Add to favoritesTo Use:
1 - Set your Google Maps API Key in environment.rb (or somewhere else if you’d prefer)
# This key is good for localhost:3000, signup for more at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html GOOGLE_APPLICATION_ID = "ABQIAAAA3HdfrnxFAPWyY-aiJUxmqRTJQa0g3IQ9GZqIMmInSLzwtGDKaBQ0KYLwBEKSM7F9gCevcsIf6WPuIQ"
2 - Do something like this in a view.
<%
map = GoogleMap.new
map.markers << GoogleMapMarker.new(:map => map,
:lat => 47.6597,
:lng => -122.318,
:html => 'My House')
%>
<%= map.to_html %>
<%= map.div %>
Advanced Usage
1 - Use included icon classes
# Available icon classes:
# GoogleMapLetterIcon.new('A')
# GoogleMapSmallIcon.new('yellow')
<%
map = GoogleMap.new
icon = GoogleMapSmallIcon.new('blue')
map.markers << GoogleMapMarker.new(:map => map,
:icon => icon,
:lat => 47.6597,
:lng => -122.318,
:html => 'My House')
%>
<%= map.to_html %>
<%= map.div %>
The repository has moved to: http://gmaps-on-rails.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
I prefer a map that takes an address rather than co-ordinates, as most of our apps hold address details and few, i imagine, hold co-ordinates.
Check out this plugin that is currently written for the Hobo Rails plugin, but can easily be refactured as a standard Rails plugn (i'll get onto that asap) - http://hobocentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=526
anyone got this working yet? i cant seem to figure it out.
Ok, had to svn co this plugin, svn co unbackeddomid (on the same level as google_maps), write 2 little init.rb files to load the files, and it worked.
How on earth do you install this plugin???
