Forum: Ruby on Rails Google-Maps-for-Rails

Hey all,


I am using google maps for rails gem. When I use this It is going with
location not specific. Let say I am looking for a store location in 
Houston
in Tx . The issue is, it is not locating exact store rather it is just
locating only Huston. Can any one help me what to do.





Thanks in advance,
Honey

I used google_maps_for_rails gem.

Can you give more detail?  Show us exactly which call you are making
and what the parameters are and what result you get.

This is code I have written

def index
    @cities = City.all
    @json = City.all.to_gmaps4rails


       respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render :json=> @cities }
    end
  end

  def create
    @city = City.new(params[:city])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @city.save
        format.html { redirect_to @city, :notice => 'City was 
successfully
created.' }
        format.json { render :json=> @city, :status => :created, 
:location
=> @city }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.json { render :json=> @city.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

 Index view

<%= gmaps4rails(@json) %>

My Input is

*Name:* Spencer

*State:* Musheerabad

*Latitude:* 17.4157

*Longitude:* 78.4993

I got above result to my inputs but it did  not locate exactly.

When I gave same Inputs using another app which

http://electric-sunrise-8410.heroku.com/locations/new


In this link he used direct google api. not gem.

*Latitude:* 17.412577

*Longitude: *78.49859200000003

The above are the exact location what I want.

This is the issue I am facing with this gem. As the above link was more
specific with address.
