I have the following URL the dist lat lng all can have a decimal  
point in them… I saw a really old post that suggested to use the  
map with a requirements list like in the rout statement. Well it  
doesn;t parse it correctly… anyone care to correct the regex?  
this script returns a json object so google maps can put entries on  
the map…

map.search ‘/search/:type/:dist/:lat/:lng’, :controller =\>  
‘search’, :action =\> ‘search’,  
:requirements =\> { :lat  
=\> /._/ ,:lng =\> /._/,:dist =\> /.\*/ }
