Goal

A convenient web interface to the GPS track data gathered by the My Tracks application on the Android phone.

Easily load ride data from Google Fusion Tables into a user’s account
Display maps of all the user’s rides like this that can be easily browsed and searched
Allow user to attach public/private notes to each ride
Support for Metric and English units

User feedback during ride import process
Robust search/filtering capability (currently can only search by user ID)
Show multiple routes on a single map
More interesting and customizable aggregate statistics on rides
Long term: provide a distribution of the elapsed time between two user-selected waypoints (across all the rides that went through those waypoints).

Use the Google Maps Javascript API to create a Fusion Table layer (using the Fusion Table IDs from the user)
Find centerpoint and bounding boxes for map by parsing the ride data and using the geo_data gem.
Pass the necessary inputs to the javascript code by setting HTML attributes in the <div> element where the map will be inserted.

bundle install
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
bundle exec thin start (for development use thin instead of webrick, works with the google auth)
edit /etc/hosts file
Postgresql is the DB, some helpful commands:
to install (on OS X): brew install postgresql
on Ubuntu, to create the databases: sudo -u postgres createdb db/test sudo -u postgres createdb db/development
to get status of server: pg_ctl status -D /usr/local/var/postgres/
to list available databases: psql -l
to process the background jobs that fetch Temperature data from Weather Underground: heroku run rake jobs:work Click on "Update Rides" in app (this puts rides without Temperature data on the queue)
Check out the startft.rb script for using GData::FusionTables interface
set client secret in config/initializers from https://code.google.com/apis/console/

First, I Googled ‘providers in omniauth’
using pry (cd OmniAuth::Strategies::Goo > tab complete to see all Google strategies)
bundle open omniauth to look at the source code
from a comment in the gems-open-id*google_hybrid file found this example, made by the person who wrote the provider
