Phil, That plugin still works. Look in the model file that comes with the plugin. It tells you how to implement the plugin.
Here is a copy of my model, controller and view files where I got it to work. You need to obtain a key from google because if more than a default number of people visit your site, you will have to pay them for the use. I forget what is that specific rule, but you can read their policy. I haven't tried the plugin wiki yet, but here is what worked for viewing the map with the plugin. I have a separate model for loading lat, long data. model file: plugin_gmap.py from gluon.storage import Storage plugin_gmap=Storage() plugin_gmap.key='insert_your_string_key_here_from_google' # key for localhost plugin_gmap.set=db(db.capitals.id>0).select() ### change this to a query that lists records with latitude and longitute #for row in plugin_gmap.set: print row.capital_latitude,row.capital_longitude points=db(db.capitals.id>0).select() ### change this to a query that lists records with latitude and longitute #plugin_gmap.represent=lambda row: '%(first_name)s %(last_name)s' % row['auth_user'] plugin_gmap.represent=lambda row: '%(capital_name)s %(capital_latitude)s %(capital_longitude)s ' % row # include plugin in views with {{=LOAD('plugin_gmap')}} controllers: plugin_gmap.py def index(): width = request.vars.width or 400 height = request.vars.height or 300 #rows = plugin_gmap.set.select() rows = db(db.capitals.id>0).select() for row in rows: row.plugin_gmap_popup = plugin_gmap.represent(row) return dict(width=width,height=height,rows=rows,GOOGLEMAP_KEY=plugin_gmap.key) # return DIV(width=width,height=height,rows=rows,GOOGLEMAP_KEY=plugin_gmap.key).xml() idef index(): width = request.vars.width or 400 height = request.vars.height or 300 #rows = plugin_gmap.set.select() rows = db(db.capitals.id>0).select() for row in rows: row.plugin_gmap_popup = plugin_gmap.represent(row) return dict(width=width,height=height,rows=rows,GOOGLEMAP_KEY=plugin_gmap.key) # return DIV(width=width,height=height,rows=rows,GOOGLEMAP_KEY=plugin_gmap.key).xml() in view file just put this line in below the {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{=LOAD('plugin_gmap')}} This combination worked for me.
