which module to use?
guys, i have a new project that will contain a few pages that i'd like to show a google map to indicate the location , i found a few modules like gmap, address, location (no production version), geolocation and geobrowser...
the pages will not have lat/long,, they will only be able to use snail mail for US addresses, and the map should pinpoint the location like a typical google map..
Which of the modules is THE best one to use that's tested and tried?
Thanks in advance
Read moreGmap view + Location + CCK
I have a database of property data with lat/long and I would like to display this information in a google map. I used CCK to create the fields and created a view using Gmap view. The key is to show multiple properties on the same google map. I tried to follow Zacker's google mashup machine but didn't succeed. I would appreciate any tips. I am also keen on hiring a consultant to help me out on this project.

GeoNames API for Drupal 6 released
I just committed GeoNames for D6. There are a few new functions thrown in there with some useful information; continent codes, country info and US states. I have rewritten some of the code to get rid of the module_invoke_all calls and reduce the number of components in the module...
There are probably several bugs; please check it out and post issues with the bugs you find...
Enjoy!

Eurotrip Mapping Functionality
I did a screencast as a little demo of what my mapping functionality is like for eurotrip.com. I basically just wanted to show you all so it may spark some ideas for improving geocoding/mapping functionalities.
Sorry for the quality, YouTube kills it pretty nicely.

ps - you can see the display aspect in action at http://www.eurotrip.com/

One more module - GMap Lat/Lon
Written by bjaspan, From the project page:
GMap Lat/Lon is a small glue module that provides Latitude and Longitude Views fields for nodes with gmap_cck fields. Among other things, this allows the gProximity module to display a map showing all nodes with gmap_cck fields. The Location module should also be able to do this but, at the time of writing, has no supported/usable releases.

trackfield is in CVS
Hi all,
The previously discussed trackfiled module (which is actually a collection) is now in the Drupal CVS. The project page is here:
http://drupal.org/project/trackfield
Keep an eye on the project page as I'll setup an official demo site shortly.
Comments are welcome. It's not particularly clean but is working for me. I'd bet there are numerous bugs as not all druapl installs will be the same. Feel free to log bugs and feature requests from the project page.
