[support] Gmaps help

[Jacob M. Roufa]

You'll want to install gmap and views (and any requirements as well) and make a new nodetype or two to associate location information with. Then create a view to list all nodes of type (locative nodetype) on the map. Displaying it on the map how you like will be a project in theming.

Hope this helps at all...

Cheers!

Hi, all!  Thank you for your support on my previous email.

I'm trying to understand how to use the Gmaps module.  I really don't understand anything, so it wouldn't be effective for me to waste everyone's time on the list.  What I would really appreciate is if you could point out some good current HOW TO guides.  I have been looking around, but everything seems rather old. (drupal 5, often!)


This is what I want to do:

I have a list of places I have been and places I want to go to.  I have their addresses and names.  Places I have been I have multiple pictures of.  Places I haven't, I have varying degrees of information.


I'd like one big map that shows markers for all places.  There should be one color for places I have been, one color for places I haven't.  You should be able to go from the marker to a page for that place.  That place specific page should show a close up map, all the pictures, and any other information I have.


I would prefer for that page to be one node, though I have seen things done with views.  It would be great that if I created a new node of that type, a new marker showed up on the big map.  

Thank you for your help!


Anisa.
