I've altered the tutorial a bit. Now GeoKit uses the YM4R-Key. Just add to config/environment.rb: GeoKit::Geocoders::GOOGLE= Ym4r::GmPlugin::ApiKey::GMAPS_API_KEY @Jeroen: You’re right.

If you don't like the duplication of keys, consider creating your own variable to keep the key and assign it to the various plugins that need it. With this approach, you can preserve your DRY goals. Otherwise, if that's the extent of your inconvenience, then you are doing pretty well. The value of each plugin easily outweighs your concerns (IMHO).

If not, can you recommend a good plugin that fits well with geokit? Are there any plans to add support for using Google Maps in the view to display results from using geokit?
