Today Google updated the google maps api scripts from 2.132d to 2.133d. This seemingly innocent change caused the infowindows as well as the standard controls to dissapear at a client site. I have confirmed that other people are having the same issue with this specific version of the file. I corrected my issue by forcing ym4r to revert to the previous revision in map.rb. I monkey patched my file for the time being, but hopefully google will correct the problem. There is a thread in the google group for the map api which reports that at least one other person has the same problem. You can correct this in ym4r by making a change to map.rb
change (around line 34)
http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&
to
http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.132d&
then restart your mongrel to force reload of the plugin and your map will work again. Hopefully google addresses this issue soon.
Tim
Update: Looks like the problem relates to a mix of prototype and scriptaculous with the new google maps file.

whenever someone technical discovers that I am in love with ruby, they invariably ask me where they should go for a decent tutorial. I have always loved "rolling with ruby on rails", but like a large number of existing ruby tutorials, "rolling" became a bit dated for me eventually. so i started sending folks to rubylearning.com. I think I have found my new favorite recommendations for folks… Check out Rails For beginners, and Rapid Restful Rails
