You've created a class method (that's what def self. does) whereas
this should really be an instance method.
Usually you'd handle this via some associations. GiMap should have
has_one :division (and not belongs_to :division - that would indicate
that the gi_maps table has a division_id column) and division should
belongs_to :gi_map (and it does as required have a gi_map_id column).
Then you'd just write (I suspect that personally I wouldn't bother)
def gi_map_name
gi_map.name
end
