Rails - Jan 2008 - GeoKit: How to display an address research in a view?

Hi,
maybe its a little complex issue/request, but has someone here an idea
how I can display an address research with GeoKit in GoogleMaps?

I''m a really beginner, so maybe I didn''t get the point so far.
I have
installed the GeoKit Plugin, look in the test case (there I didn''t find
any view htmls), setup my own Google Api Key, but didn''t smarter ;-).

How can I use GeoKit result in a view? For my test I have put a address
hardcode in a controller:

class GeokittestController < ApplicationController
    include GeoKit::Geocoders
    def stadt
    res=MultiGeocoder.geocode(''Rathausplatz, München, DE'')
        puts res.ll
   ll=latitude,longitude
  end
end

Now I would like to use the result from stadt (I''m sure that I do a
mistake here...). How can I now use the result? Must I use res or do I
have to work with ll in the view?

Is it general possible to search for an address with GeoKit?

For displaying I have only found in another thread:
<% content_for :script do -%>
    <script
src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=<%GeoKit::Geocoders::google
%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      function initialize() {
        if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
          var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
          var loc = new GLatLng(<%= @location.lat %>, <%= @location.lng
%>)
          map.setCenter(loc, 13);
          map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
          map.addOverlay(new GMarker(loc));
        }
      }
    </script>
<% end -%>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>

How could I use the ll/res for such a view (must use the variables for
GLatLng I think) and is map_canvas a standard div/view, cause I saw them
also on other pages?

Maybe one of you could help me short on this topic, I didn''t have found
a tutorial for this on the net and I''m relativly new with OO, maybe
that
it the reason were I didn''t get it.

Thanks in advance for any kind of idea/help,
Knut
