GMapz v2.11

GMapz is yet another Google Maps JS library. It eases the creation of Google Maps, it's responsive, supports the creation of multiple instances in the same page (each one with its own settings), the creation of custom styled infowindows, and other useful helpers.

You can view the full documentation (WIP) and working samples at:
http://carloscabo.github.io/gmapz

Installation

1a. Use as Rails gem

Simply include in your gemfile:

gem 'gmapz'

and run bundle install

Then add in your application.js

//= require gmapz
//= require gmapz.map
//= require gmapz.autocomplete

1b. Use standalone

If you want to add it to your project by hand, copy src/js/gmapz/gmapz.js, src/js/gmapz/gmapz.map.js and src/js/gmapz/gmapz.autocomplete.js (only if you need to add an autocomple input) in your project and be sure that its included in the pages after JQuery.

It's recommended that you give a look at: http://carloscabo.github.io/gmapz/ for a more in deep explanation of the pins, and the locations. In this repository you have two sample files for both of them: src/js/gmapz/gmapz.pins.js and src/js/gmapz/gmapz.locations.js.

2. Include CSS

For the responsive features take a look to src/css/gmapz-responsive.css that is used in conjuction with MQBE.

If you want to customize the map infobox windows you can use src/css/gmapz-sample-infobox.scss as base for your own styles.

TO-DO

1. Add sample with default Google Maps pins
2. Add static maps support
