How to Configure the Google Maps for Rails Map config file?

I'm using the GM4Rails Gem.

I'm very newbie to Rails and I'm trying to find the config file so I can get a HYBRID Google Maps instead of the ROADMAP.

I couldn't find the file: https://github.com/apneadiving/Google-Maps-for-Rails/wiki/Map

Is there anyway I can change the config?

Solution

  • You have to know that:

    <%= gmaps4rails(@json) %>

    is a shortcut for:

    <%= gmaps("map_options" => { "auto_adjust" => true},
          "markers"     => { "data" => @json }) 
 %>

    When you need to pass additional options, you have to use the gmaps helper. In your case:

    <%= gmaps("map_options" => { "auto_adjust" => true, "type" => "HYBRID" },
          "markers"     => { "data" => @json }) 
 %>

    As you saw many more options are available.
