2 - Do something like this in a view.

  <%
  map = GoogleMap.new
  map.markers << GoogleMapMarker.new(:map => map, 
                                     :lat => 47.6597, 
                                     :lng => -122.318,
                                     :html => 'My House')
  %>
  <%= map.to_html %>
  
    <%= map.div %>
