It would be great if you could stir up the conversation at the GeoRuby Google Group – http://groups.google.com/group/georuby – we need to reinvigorate the building of Ruby and Rails Geo Tools!

Simon,

Nice write-up. I’ve recently begun switching an existing GeoDjango app to Rails, and have used the same tools you’ve described here. I especially want to highlight postgis_adapter for its commonality with GeoDjango’s functions. One thing I would love to see is a Ruby/Rails version of GeoDjango’s LayerMapping, which does import/conversion of shapefiles based on an app’s models.

Hi Simon,

Glad you like postgis_adapter. I’ve being postponing an example for some time now, let me know if you plan to start one, I’ll help.
Thank you.
