You can, but it might not be the best choice. There are various other options you might want to think about - Mapbox GL, OsmDroid and probably others. Thanks, I am good now, how do i mark your comment as answer Thanks

Just to stop you from disappearing too far up a blind alley - if you just want to display external locations over the top of an osm map you don't need your own version of the rails port. Just record the locations in whatever system you do now and use something like leaflet to display the one over the other. There are lots of examples at the leaflet site and there's one in "using tiles" at the switch2osm aite.
Hi SomeoneElse, Thanks, I was also reading the leaflate, Thanks for confering leaflate can do that, regards to Inhouse Rails port, Currently WE dont have any other system, the pan was use Google Api or use your own Server, as you can see Google Api is costly, so We are looking to build some thing from scratch to avoid being depandance of google map.
I will put few more question to get better understanding, Thanks for the help
@SomeoneElse, one question, Can we use leaflate for Mobile Application ? Because we would like to create an Mobile (Android) app, can we use leaflate for this ? or there is some thign else we need to use ? Thanks for the help
