Configuration required before starting server

Before you can get this demo working, you’ll need to update few API KEYS

Once you’ve created few entry, you will like to send your data to Maptimize to get your map showing your markers.

You’ll find an example of BASH command line in “config/initializers/maptimize_config.rb”
