I built an app back in the day on rails 2.3x using geokit and y4mr-gm.

I am now building an app and Rails 3 and curious if there are any better solutions.

Basically I have a model Business that has an address. When a user searches for or browses the Businesses I want to have a map at the bottom that displays a marker for each business.

I could do this via geokit and y4mr-gm (though I hear there can be some trouble with Rails 3) but I am hoping for a more elegant solution. Is there anything recent I could use?

Thanks!

    I have been really happy with Geocoder. Its actively maintained and very simple. I ask for a street address and get geocoder to fill in the lat/lng fields before I save my model. It’s really painless to implement.

    When it comes to displaying the stuff on a map, I am still writing the JS myself, but using jQuery to do it. If you are looking for a working example of the JS with jQuery you can see mine here.
