Hey everyone, Is there Rails support for something like Google Maps, but using my own images/maps? Basically, I''d like to have my own maps/images, be able to drop markers on them, center on certain attributes etc. - Nic
google maps is just javascript so you can drop it in anywhere on your rails views. As for custom images i believe this is set in the google API javascript as follows: var icon = new GIcon(); icon.image = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png"; icon.shadow = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png"; icon.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20); icon.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20); icon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20); icon.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); adam On 1/6/06, Nic Werner <nicwerner@gmail.com> wrote:> Hey everyone, > Is there Rails support for something like Google Maps, but using my > own images/maps? > > Basically, I''d like to have my own maps/images, be able to drop > markers on them, center on certain attributes etc. > > > - Nic > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >
Thanks, but what I was looking for was something with the interface of Google Maps, but my *own* maps, like maps of buildings, or more detailed areas.

There is code that does exactly that in "Pragmatic Ajax'' (1).
