Multiple Loctions Displayed on Single Map
Dear All
I'm looking to recreate Google Map functionality I wrote for my site (http://www.racekites.com/locations/locations.asp) in asp using Drupal.
I have the modules installed and can display a single location to a single map.
Is it possible to send multiple (500+) locations to a single map using the standard GMap module ?
How can this be achieved ?
Cheers

You can do this using views
You can do this using views and gmap. Set it up so each of your locations is a node, and add the relevant location data using either location_cck (preferred, but you might have some trouble) or location(_something or other).
Then you can make a view that filters by the locations and it will be plotted as multi location map.

Thanks Nik, much
Thanks Nik, much appreciated
I can build a view to output the information required (lat, long, name, body), however are these locations then sent to a map with clickable locations which display the content in a bubble ?

500
you dont want to have 500 items on the map, the browser will get very slow and even crash due to javascript. there are better ways, go to http://www.manbijthond.nl/ and zoom in and see what the "green dog" does.

MarkerManager
Are you refering to the MarkerManager. This class is used to manage visibility of hundreds of markers on a map, based on the map's current viewport and zoom level.
