eschaton => google maps on rails with hotness

Helps with writing google map mashups in Rails bringing together the power of Google Maps and Rails.

Visit the wiki for more info. 

  map = Google::Map.new(:center => {:latitude => -33.947, :longitude => 18.462},
                        :controls => [:small_map, :map_type])

  map.click do |script, location|
    marker = map.add_marker :location => location
    marker.open_info_window :text => 'Awesome, you added a marker!'
  end

Get it…

For Rails 2.1 and up 

  $ script/plugin install git://github.com/yawningman/eschaton.git

Older versions of Rails 

  $ cd vendor/plugins
  $ git clone git://github.com/yawningman/eschaton.git

Get going…

Generate a map, look at the files the generator created and play a bit. 

  $ script/generate map

Visit the map at localhost:3000/map or wherever your server runs.

Generate and review the docs, put some test code in the app/helpers/map_helper.rb and play! 

  $ cd vendor/plugins/eschaton/
  $ rake rdoc
  $ rake open_doc
