She's back!

Nice job, Jennifer. The one place I think the 180 previous helped you build massive skill is in UI design. Simple and snappy.

What are you using for geo-coding and mapping? I've found a combination of "geocoder" and "gmaps-for-rails" gems work great.

Thank you! I totally agree with you on the 180 websites project really helping with understanding UI design.

I'm using the Google Maps Javascript API for the maps and RGeo as a wrapper for PostGIS/Postgres.

Cool, nothing wrong with going to the bare metal for Gmaps in simple applications. If you find yourself doing any complex marker or polygon manipulation Gmaps-for-rails is really worth a look.

Keep up the good work, look forward to more from you in the future!
