+1 Same issue occurring for me too, with ruby 1.8.7 and rails 3 (not using HAML though)

[fery]

+1 same here

[nicinabox]

Same here :/

[pasine]

I found a solution here.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4701798/google-maps-api-with-rails-3-0

I solved the issue name with the solution suggested by Lucas Efe. Then I had my map showed correctly adding

[Map]

as suggested in the accepted answer.

Good luck!

[nicinabox]

The proper "fix" is to add @map.icons << Cartographer::Gicon.new to your controller :)

[cmezak]

@nicinabox doing as you suggest did not affect the problem for me.

[ebunomoni]

Have there been any additional fixes/solutions around this? I've been trying to figure it out, and have attempted using the suggested fixes above, but to no avail.

[nicinabox]

This issue was fixed on Feb 4. If you have a version of cartographer from before that, make sure you clone the current state.

Also, don't forget to add @map.icons << Cartographer::Gicon.new to your controller (this wasn't documented before)

It should work just fine for you

[ebunomoni]

Thanks for the response.

Using your advice as well as some of the others, I was able to fix the root of my problems, the biggest one being that everywhere this great plugin is mentioned, it suggests an older version and so that's why I installed stale code. It's even in the installation notes of your README.markdown:

git://github.com/parolkar/cartographer.git vendor/plugins/cartographer

Can you update your README file to reflect the location of the updated clone for future installers:

git://github.com/joshuamiller/cartographer.git vendor/plugins/cartographer

The other thing is that an additional

tag is needed in the view to display the map. So users will need something like this:

<%= raw Cartographer::Header.new.to_s %> <%= raw @map.to_html %>

[Map]

Once again thanks for the great plugin and good luck to anyone else who may be run and good luck to anyone who runs across this error.

[nicinabox]

parolkar's version is a fork of the original (joshuamiller). his may be behind master by several commits. But you are right, the map div is missing from the readme.

[gordonbanderson]

The README has some inaccuracies and missing information, but I now have the markers example working.

@map = Cartographer::Gmap.new( 'map' )
@map.zoom = :bound
@map.debug = true
normal_icon = Cartographer::Gicon.new
@map.icons << normal_icon
marker1 = Cartographer::Gmarker.new(:name=> "taj_mahal", :marker_type =>    "Building",:position => [27.173006,78.042086], :icon => normal_icon, :info_window_url  => "/url_for_info_content")
marker2 = Cartographer::Gmarker.new(:name=> "raj_bhawan", :marker_type =>  "Building",
          :position => [28.614309,77.201353],
          :icon => normal_icon,
          :info_window_url => "/url_for_info_content")

@map.markers << marker1
@map.markers << marker2

The issue arises due to the default setting of the icon in gmarker.rb, line 9

@icon = options[:icon] || :normal

On rendering, line 58 fails

script << "#{@name} = new google.maps.Marker({map: null,position: new google.maps.LatLng(#{@position[0]}, #{@position[1]}), draggable: #{@draggable}, icon: #{@icon.name}}); \n"

This is because @icon.name is trying to evaluate :normal.nam which of course fails.

Definitely a bug, though easily fixable or workaroundable.
