the easiest way to use Google Maps
npm install gmapsImportant
If you're developer, I'm moving gmaps.js to NPM, you can give your opinion and check the migration progress in Issue #404

gmaps.js - A Javascript library that simplifies your life
=========================================================
gmaps.js allows you to use the potential of Google Maps in a simple way. No more extensive documentation or large amount of code.
Visit the examples in hpneo.github.com/gmaps
Go to the API Documentation hpneo.github.io/gmaps/documentation.html
Quick Start
-----
1. Add a reference to Google Maps API
2. Add gmaps.js in your HTML
3. Enjoy!
``html`
Use with AMD
-----
With require.js, you need to load Google Maps JavaScript API first. For example, assuming you have a googlemapsapi.js file:
`javascript`
define(['async!http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=false'], function() {});
Next you have to define the dependency for gmaps.js:
`javascript`
require.config({
paths: {
"googlemapsapi": "googlemapsapi",
},
shim: {
gmaps: {
deps: ["googlemapsapi"],
exports: "GMaps"
}
}
});
Also, you can use the googlemaps-amd plugin.
Build
------
If you would like to build gmaps from source run the following at the terminal:
`sh`
git clone https://github.com/HPNeo/gmaps.git
cd gmaps
npm install
grunt
