Is possible to add a map to draw a route

Hi,

You can use trackfield for this:

http://drupal.org/project/trackfield

An example from NoBMoB:

http://nobmob.com/node/5931

This is a standard content type which happens to have a CCK 'trackfield' field. Then for display it has a trackfield map, graph and number of stats that are all derived from the entered route.

On NoBMoB, these 'track' content types are grouped in a 'ride area', so we can have a view that shows all trails in a specific area, like this:

http://nobmob.com/node/5917/tracks

You can also get KML generated for such a view, like this (see this just loads the KML generated into Google maps):

http://maps.google.com.au/?q=http://nobmob.com/node/5917/kml

Is that what you meant?

Although trackfield is still early in development it's been working quiet nicely for us (and I do know a few other sites too) for a while now.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Have updated the doco and added a 'quickstart' section here:

Hope this helps.

'USR' refers to USR data. The idea is that in the end you will be able to put any number of fields and use them for whatever you like.

Ie. a cyclist might like to record cadence, power, time, etc.

In the latest trackfield_crs for example, these are used and heartrate, cadence and time are all stored.

The idea is these will be user definable or site configurable after time.

As for the drawing thing... there are many, many sites online for drawing routes so I didn't want to re-invent them. I like to draw paths on Google Earth and then just copy/paste the KML into my Drupal site. Works very well.

The bug you refer to has been closed:

So you want a clickable map like Google maps 'My Maps' has? And GPSies and a whole load of other sites?

Sorry, but although someone could probably write an extension like that I don't plan to. What I do is use Google Earth (or one of the sites just mentioned) to draw lines then copy/paste the KML (or GPX export or whatever) into the trackfield and there you go.

This was meant to be a co-ordinate storage system, not a map builder like you want.

From the GMap module readme.txt:

"GMap macros" are text-based representations of Google Maps. A GMap macro can be created with the GMap Macro Builder tool or by hand. Any map parameter not specified by a macro will use the defaults from the GMap settings page (Administer > Site configuration > GMap). There are several places where you may use Gmap macros, mainly:

1) GMap settings, like the GMap Location module's settings page.
2) Any node where the GMap filter is enabled (as part of the input format).
A GMap macro will look something like this (see API.txt for syntax details):
[gmap markers=blue::41.902277040963696,-87.6708984375 |zoom=5 |center=42.94033923363183,-88.857421875 |width=300px |height=200px |control=Small |type=Map]

The GMap Macro Builder is a GUI for creating GMap macros; you may use it to create a map with points, lines, polygons, and circles, and then copy and paste the resulting macro text. After you insert the macro into a node, you can edit it using raw values that you get from elsewhere to create a different set of points or lines on the map.
