[drupal-devel] playing with google maps and drupal
Here is a summary of some playing around I did today with google maps and drupal. This is pretty easy for anybody to replicate and improve: http://civicmaps.org/gmaps/about.html Thought I would fire this off before heading down to SF this weekend. I'd be very interested in hearing what people think - is google maps a nice way to visualize drupal content? Even if not legal ultimately - maybe the metaphor itself is nice; tile maps + javascript can be applied to vmap0 and other datasets (admittedly with a lot more work - for example compare the speed and fluidity of google maps to http://64.91.125.89/maps/ ( a more traditional mapserver ) ). For simple visualization and providing of 'context' - as opposed to editing - does google maps win? You're welcome to join the cmaps mailing list noted above as well; I'm hoping to gather discussion there on a variety of technology agnostic ways to do maps in civicspace. - a

Looks amazing (!), and saves a lot of work for the rest of us (I'm ready to do some cool stuff with it ASAP)... but a few bits are missing, or at least not clear.... inner.html is used, but I didn't see a link to it... for example. Can you bundle up the bits and give others tarball to mess with?
