Domenic - solved just the scenario you mentioned with Gmap + Location although you need to patch location - the issue in question is this one: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/662892">http://drupal.org/node/662892</a><div><br>
</div><div>Although if you have all the issues sorted except a view with multiple markers/ nodes you might just try an alternative approach just for that part and leave the rest as is. Mapstraction or openlayers will do it - mapstraction is more lightweight and probably enough.</div>

In the meantime, I would suggest a careful look at the Openlayers<br>
(<a href="http://drupal.org/project/openlayers" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/openlayers</a>) module if I were you. It is<br>
powerful and once you get into it gives you a lot of flexibility.<br>

OpenLayers does indeed look cool. It looks like a bit of overkilll<br>
perhaps... what I'm trying to do seems straightforward enough:<br>
<br>
1) nodes of type "event" have an "address" field. Fill in the address.<br>
2) Single node pages have a map with a pin on it<br>
3) views of multiple events have a single map with many pins <- (this is<br>
where gmap + geo is croaking)<br>
4) ability to filter that view by distance -- xx miles from ZIP code.<br>
5) all US addresses<br>
<br>
The modules I'm seeing do everything + the kitchen sink, minus one thing<br>
I need to do. Or they have dependencies that are broken. Am I<br>
inappropriately lost here? Am I just being dense?<br>

We've had good experiences with the Mapstraction module, which uses Views for that purpose.<br>
