title: How to connect Google Maps to my tables or resources
body: <p>i wanted to know if this is even possible. I'm trying to figure out how to connect a resource to the Google Maps API. I am trying to do something like Yelp. This is what i mean:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Users add Dogs(name) and the weight (number)</li>
  <li>Users type in location ( or near) to bring up results just like using Google Search.</li>
  <li>Users verify address and then they can click Done, thus adding where the dog is located, name and weight and my application checks for all validations or the presence of the 3 parts needed.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So can anyone please help a RoR newbie out? Tips, tricks, other methods of doing this and guides would be great. I looked at the Google API but wasn't exactly sure where to start. if you need more information let me know!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
  
  <p>P.S. Here is the first way i had in mind how to do this: </p>
  
  <p>Users add Dog name and weight ------> then Users find location by Ajax search bar in my page -----> click to submit that it is the correct location and it places a Marker ---->  Users click done and it saves Marker on site along with a remembering the Marker for the specific Dog/weight.</p>
