Mapping Historical Travel Routes
By way of introduction, I'm an aficionado of Mark Twain and have a Drupal site with nodes devoted to the chapters of some of his books including The Innocents Abroad. I thought it would be interesting to add maps of his travels as we progress through the chapters. In furtherance of this I've been reading Mapping With Drupal, which led me to this group. At the moment I have only vague ideas of what I would like this to look like and how it might function so I thought I should ask a community of drupal/map enthusiasts for ideas.

SOLVED: OpenLayers Exposed Form in Block
I have an OpenLayer map with an exposed filter for location. It works fine as long as the filter in on the page but when I try to move it to a block (Exposed form in block) it's not passing the Great-Circle variable contextually. This is causing my results to be inaccurate.

Hello,
I was happy as I found this group! I have some question to the community.

Read moreLeaflet stack?
I'm new to Drupal and re-developing a wine travel site with it. I'm developing with the mobile first philosophy and after much research it seems that Leaflet is a good fit. I'm going to use Google Maps because my existing site has GMaps and I'm familiar with it. I've found so little Leaflet information so far that I want to stick with the known for now.
Do I have the Leaflet stack figured out or missing something?

Clarity on Google Maps terms of service, and alternatives
Hey, gang. While my site is in development, I'm using Google Maps for both geocoding and map display. But there are a few issues that might make that a poor choice for the production site:

AddressField Dropdown
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out....
I have a content type (Retailer) that has multiple addresses (as you would hope one would have :)) that are defined by Addressfield. The idea here is to relate the AddressField to a Product content type where (when creating a new Product) a drop-down box would be available to choose which address the Product is at.
