Hi Guys
I have been trying to build a site that takes in user data through CCk fields and then displays that information on google maps . I have been using CCK, gmap, geonames, location and views modules. I have been playing around with it for the last 2 weeks and have been unsuccessful. Which has lead me onto trying to find tutorials on how somebody would put such a website together. I have searched the drupal website, mastering drupal, lullabot, youtube just about anywhere i could think of. Please if anybody knows where i could find some information, would be greatly appreciated.

I concur
It would be really great. I guess one of the issues is that most of the potential candidate modules are still only for 5.x. (I have Drupal 6.x installed.)
All I wanted to do was to have all registered users displayed on a single google map (based on either (the latest) IP address they logged in from or the city, state, country info from their profile. Could not do it.
I found GeoUser which now works but only displays the location on a google (or yahoo) map for the individual user under his/her account - does not make much sense.
Thanks--

Little bits of info
Hi
So reckon the best way to do this is to post links to info i have found and am going to find. It might help somebody else trying to do the same out there. Here's some info i found tonight

I'm also on the hunt for
I'm also on the hunt for documentation or tutorials.
I would be excited to see a description of how to store addresses for something, like a club. Then either display a map showing the locations of the club meeting place, or be able to list the nearest x clubs to a zip code (text list ok no map needed).
