+steps to bringing up this maps demo site...
+
+* need to configure a database in app.php.  see default version: config/app.default.php 
+
+* need an api key from google to have separate hit quotas on mapping API.
+  * refer to: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key
+  * see default version: config/config_google.default.php
+  * example of using api key:
+    * https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Seattle&destinations=San+Francisco&key=YOUR_API_KEY
+
+* need to install the cake geo code.
+  * more details at: https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-geo/blob/master/docs/Install.md
+
+* need to have jquery available and loaded someplace.  i got a recent minified version of it and stored it in webroot/js and then added this to default.ctp before the fetch('script') call:
+  <script src="/js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
+
+* need to load the marker clusterer code for map marker clustering to work.  see ClusterMapHelper.php for more info.
