Ruby on Rails

I just used the Geocoder gem again recently, reminded how awesome that is for the search side as well as coding an address into a lat/lng.

gem 'geocoder'

As far as showing the results on a map, you can use the Open Street Map for that, or Google if you like to fiddle with API keys. Either one will take an array of points and place them on the map for you as markers.

The user's selection would need to be stored in my app's database. I am looking at google maps, yelp, foursquare, and facebook places. Can anyone provide some recent experiences with these, or other, APIs?
