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!

Also, I'm not attached to Gmaps as the module. But all the places are in Japan, and the google maps are pretty decent. Anisa. On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 1:08 AM, Anisa <mystavash@animecards.org> wrote:

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! -- Jacob M.

Jacob, thank you for your message. Do you know of any how to guides that you can recommend? Anisa. On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 2:27 AM, Jacob M. Roufa <jacob.roufa@gmail.com>wrote:

This is more basic than what you're looking for, but it's good: http://www.drupaltherapy.com/gmap -- Mike Martin drupallist@mmartin.net
