Working with the Nicemap module
Hello.
I've been toying around with the nicemap module and I dont seem to have the faintest idea how it works. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.,
Enabling Street Views?
I've set up location module and gmap module for a nonprofit I'm helping out (docomomo-us.org) to map endangered works of modern architecture. We're really grateful for all the hard work that went into these.
I'm wondering if its possible to enable street views somehow? We'd love it to be an option so that if a user wants to see a building in its context they can.
If we can't display street views on our site's pages, maybe we could pass off to Google Maps's main Web site to do so? I have no idea how to do this using the current framework.

Finding places in a map (geocoding)
I have users in one side and events and links in the other.
I do no expect Users having trouble finding their location in a map. ;)
However, as an administrator, when I add locations for events or other links, since I do not always know where those places are located, I ended up having my editing page and a google maps page open at the same time and going back and forth between them in order to add a marker.
I figure out a shorcut for this problem until geocoding finally works (perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I do not see geolocation working yet).

nicemap or even google, dynamically updating
I'm hoping to use nicemap, or if I absolutely have to, gmap in order to display information from my activity feed. That is, people do something on my site, if i know their location, the map updates immediately, live. No reloading.
Where can I find information on doing something like this?

I really hate how gmap moves and scrolls and generally looks clunky. nicemap is much nicer. just don't know if this is possible with nicemap!

Congratulations to Bdragon, Bec, and all the volunteer contributors who helped push out the new, officially-supported releases of the Location (v3) and Gmap (v1) modules. Hundreds of hours of work have gone into these modules since we adopted them, and we're very proud of the new and refined features.
Location and Gmap can be combined to associate physical, real-world locations with Drupal nodes and users, as well as displaying interactive maps of that content.

Including locations in basic site indexing
I help maintain a site that relies heavily on Location, and locative information in general. In a set of changes I'm working on, I am trying to add in search, and have found that locations are not part of the site index. For this case, I don't need proximity, or geospatial searching, and am interested in discussing approaches for a simple location search.
