GMap + Location Screencast
- Pharmacology:
Drupal can store and display geographic information through the use of the contributed modules called GMap and Location, part of the geocoding module stack known as Mapadelic. Together they form the foundation of building rich maps using Google's map service.
This screencast covers the basic setup required to produce your first Google mapped nodes and display all your nodes on one big map.
Prior experience with Drupal 6 core will help you follow along with this lesson, especially in the area of enabling and configuring modules and customizing content types.

Hi,
If I want to just show the map on a node page with one location and not have all markers appear, do you know an easy solution?
Thanks,

great tutorial thanks a lot.
I have another feature I am trying to create: I would like the map to show driving directions between the locations on the map. The nodes on the map will have a date associated to them (or any other type of order) and the map will display a driving route through the locations in order. I checked and driving directions are included in the google map API so it should be possible, right ?
Great! Nice tutorial.

Sean,
thank you for your great tutorials. I've read posts all over to find info on calculating distance, but i'm getting more & more confused. What if you what to allow the user to find the distance between 2 hospitals? I'm guessing I would start with views, but not sure where to go from there. Can you offer any help on where to start if using your scenario?
thank you, C~

What fields are required for
What fields are required for GMAP or Location to auto-locate a point? I'm trying to allow users to enter City, State, Country and have the point auto-generated but this doesn't seem to be working. Is an address required in order for GMAP or Location to auto-locate?
Thanks , I will use this !

Sorry another question. can
Sorry another question. can you (or anyone) tell me the difference of using the more uptodate 'NiceMap' module and are there any videos as good as Sean's on how to set it up? I think it involves using the web map service (wms) instead of google maps but not sure what that is and how to implement it ...
cheers again

Hi Thanks Sean - really
Hi
Thanks Sean - really simple and effective. Do you (or does anyone) know how to implement a custom made marker such as for instance a church gif for churches etc?

hah i hate to break it you but, understanding views + cck with GMAP is like kindergarten stuff. you'd barely scratch the surface. but its ok, you got to build steps in order to climb them.

Thanks Sean. This was a great start.
Does any know how to create a different map center on different pages? Sean centered the map in Boston in the GMAP Location module. I need to pin project locations across the globe. Then I need to have pages for each country which will include a map of the country with all the projects pinned for the country. Is there a way to have a different map center on each country page, all pulling from the same project content type? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Excellent tutorial. It
Excellent tutorial. It really helped a lot! I have been searching and searching for help on a related need. I have created a GMap for our Drupal website. It correctly posts pins on the map for each user based on the zip code they supply when they register. This is great, but I would really like the map to post a pin for the zip code with a NUMBER that represents the total number of users from that zip code, rather than a bunch of pins stacked on top of each other.
For example . . . If we have 26 users from Area Code 37901, I would like one pin on the map in that location. When you roll over it, I would like the display to read something like "37901 (26)", rather than having 26 pins each reading "37901". Surely, there is a way to do this. I just cannot figure it out.
