Domenic - solved just the scenario you mentioned with Gmap + Location although you need to patch location - the issue in question is this one: http://drupal.org/node/662892 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.

In the meantime, I would suggest a careful look at the Openlayers
(http://drupal.org/project/openlayers) module if I were you. It is powerful and once you get into it gives you a lot of flexibility.
OpenLayers does indeed look cool. It looks like a bit of overkilll perhaps... what I'm trying to do seems straightforward enough:
1) nodes of type "event" have an "address" field. Fill in the address. 2) Single node pages have a map with a pin on it 3) views of multiple events have a single map with many pins <- (this is where gmap + geo is croaking) 4) ability to filter that view by distance -- xx miles from ZIP code. 5) all US addresses
The modules I'm seeing do everything + the kitchen sink, minus one thing I need to do. Or they have dependencies that are broken. Am I inappropriately lost here? Am I just being dense?

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