Well, with the proper indentation as well! (which seems to get lost with this comment system)

Then just create manually a gmaps_api_key.yml and add :
development:
your-dev-key
test:
your-test-key
production:
your-production-key

When I tried to install script/plugin install svn:// … in the root of my project it did not create the gmaps_api_key file in my config. No errors were displayed it is like it did nothing. Any ideas?

Hey this is a neat trick. I didn't think about having the model emit its own map. You just cleaned up my controllers quite a bit. Thanks! :D

Thanks Jacek, I didn't know about that trick. I will try it out!

There's a simple way to get the location without the need of api key: add this (http://www.google.com/jsapi ) script to you page and you now have something like this: google.loader.ClientLocation = {"latitude":50.317,"longitude":18.933,"address":{"city":"Chorzow","region":"Silesia","country":"Poland","country_code":"PL"}};
