Create and store the geo-location data

Question

I'm creating rails application where it allow users to add geo-location data for restaurants, shops, etc to a map( Google map) and querying them.

First I started with http://geoapi.com, as there is a feature for creating our own entities and querying them. But still the service doesn't support well for my country. So, I deiced to create and store the geo-location data on my own database,

Can someone please tell me what are the best gems/plugins available for this? I found these, but I'd like to get some feedback from you. Thanks

I would reccomend PostGIS and then use a Ruby Connector.
