On that note why not just make a custom "My Map" in Google maps and add the urls that you want. Then embed it. It's only 45 locations. You could cut and paste the info in about 45 minutes, be done with it, and forget about it for awhile. No software to update or testing. You would have been done by now.<div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Holly,</div>I've found the Gmap module to be lacking in the past. The best way to really control a Google map and get exactly what you want is to use javascript and the Google Maps API. It's relatively straightforward, and can give you exactly what you want (because you are in control, rather than being tied down to the functionality of a module). As an example, you could use Views and the Location module to output info that includes the location data, and tie in the resulting data with your custom Google maps javascript in the view's tpl file(s).<div>
