Location and Mapping

So, I've been trying to use views with CCK, Location, and GMap for a few days now. I can get everything working fine, but there is one problem that I can't figure out. I made a GMap styled node view and everything comes up fine except for the popup info. The popups work fine, but the only data that is put into the popup is the label for each field.

I am looking for a database of trails including lat and long... anyone know of one or multiples

If this has been covered already, please point me to the right place.

Using CCK, I created an "office" content type. Users can create an "office", including its street address. And I'd like to create a Google Map that plots all of the office locations on a map. I'm toying w/ the "Locations" and "GMap" modules but I'm not sure if this is the best way to go. For one thing, the "Locations" module is a pain to use with CCK, because setting its display weight doesn't seem position it with respect to other CCK fields.

What modules should I use? Is there a tutorial or a how-to on this?

I don't think it can, but I've overlooked the bleeding obvious before :)

I've got a project that uses feedapi to create event nodes from a Google calendar. This part works fine, but I'd like to display a map on each event node. I expected this to be relatively straightforward with GMap/Location/cck, but I don't see any way to use a one line address to do it.

I created mapping module just thought I would let the group know about. GMap Extra Markers allows you to combine the markers from multiple views onto map created by GMap. I created it because wanted to show the different content types on the same map and each type need its own filtering (causing the need for multiple views). Each view can have its own marker. Right now it is only for Drupal 5 but if there is interest I will upgrade it to Drupal 5.

I have been looking into the location mapper for the feedapi.
My rss feeds are provided by a affiliate-datafeeds to rss converter. This feed includes categories and georss information. I found the following issues:

1. RSS does not have other geo fields except the georss tags
2. The location mapper does not allow mapping other fields then the georss (makes sence after the first issue)
3. When solving 1 and 2 the locatiomodule will still attempt to find ‘better’ coordinates and throw away the provided onces

I noticed that it is possible to add a link to every location with a "get directions" which links to google maps webpage.
It is nice since, it adds point "b" automatically (the location you are checking in drupal) to the google maps webpage and you only need to add your own address in order to get directions.
How is this done?

Hi

Using the CCK, location, views, gmap and Gmap_location modules, I have 2 main problems;

1. I CANNOT find a way to set the 'latitude & longitude' fields as 'required' on a CCK form

2. Is there any way for these Location and Gmap modules to work together to 'validate' each other and not allow bizarre types of location data into a node type? (E.g. not allowing to form to save something like city: London, country: USA, GEO co-ordinates: tokyo)

This is what i have done...

I have installed the following modules: Location, Gmap, Gmap location, CCK, views.

Need programmer to launch new site.. Please contact me with estimate and references to drupal sites that you have made. Thanks.
