Ruby and Mapstraction

Published in Javascript, Maps, Programming, Rails, Ruby

Wow, Guilhem has been busy. He recently announced YM4R for Mapstraction. Now you can embed Mapstraction maps into your Ruby on Rails projects.

In case you didn’t know, Mapstraction is a Javascript library that encapsulates the API’s for GoogleMaps, YahooMaps, and Microsoft Virtual Earth maps. You can write once, but switch between any of the map types.

About Me

My name is Andrew Turner - a neogeographer involved in helping build the geospatial web. I am the CTO of FortiusOne, where we're building GeoCommons, a platform that makes it easy for people to build and share collaborative maps and customize their slice of the GeoWeb.

I also develop a number of other open-source tools such as GeoPress, Mapstraction, and I also wrote the book "Introduction to Neogeography" and Where2.0: State of the Geospatial Web for O'Reilly.

Send me an email if you want to chat.
