ha, in this era of globalization, web slang isn't American anymore ;) I didn't have much time today to answer your question, but I would suggest to use googlemap API and JS to create a custom map and add the different locations easily.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/overlays.html Store your locations in your db and generate a js template that you can cache (use a timestamped filename to avoid browser caching issues). Rails would let you define your JS in your view but load it in the header. Use <%= :yield :javascript %> in your application.html.erb layout. Then in your view do something like: <% content_for :javascript do %> <script type="text/javascript"> do your js stuff here and it will be loaded in the header</script> <% end %> Good luck, -Matt On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 9:47 PM, Scott Olmsted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I learn more American expressions from Matt, the Frenchman, than anyone > else.... > > > > At 06:17 PM 7/17/2008, you wrote: > > googlemap FTW! > > -matt > > On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 5:02 PM, Scott Olmsted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > My client would like a map of Southern California on his site that shows a > potential customer which franchise office they should call.
