Adding Google Maps (API V3) support to a Ruby on Rails app

Question

Hi there, I'm searching for a good solution for integrating google maps into a ruby on rails 2.3 app. I know there's a project called ym4r but it seems old and not so maintained. Should I use directly the Google API itself?

Thanks!

In my experience, I have used an API like Geokit to geocode the data, but when it comes to building the map, use the JavaScript API directly. It gives you the most control and allows you to build the map exactly how you want.
