Gooby

Gooby is my open-source project for creating Google Maps, and Google Earth Maps with your GPS data, particularly from Garmin GPS devices. Gooby also supports the GPX format, and applications such as MotionX on an iPhone.

Gooby is written in the ruby programming language. The name derives from this formula: Gooby = Google APIs + Ruby. Gooby is hosted at RubyForge, where you can download gem file. The latest version of Gooby is 2.0.0, released on 5/24/2009.

Both the README and setup.rb files are included in the gooby gem file, but are also shown here for your reference. The README file describes its installation and usage.

Please see the Maps page for actual Google Maps, and Google Earth Maps which were created with Gooby.

I primarily use Cucumber to test Gooby during development.
