I created mapping module just thought I would let the group know about. GMap Extra Markers allows you to combine the markers from multiple views onto map created by GMap. I created it because wanted to show the different content types on the same map and each type need its own filtering (causing the need for multiple views). Each view can have its own marker. Right now it is only for Drupal 5 but if there is interest I will upgrade it to Drupal 5.
To use:
- This module must be used a page that has a Gmap Map on it. It doesn't create an actual map.
- Create a view:
- It must have the longitude,latitude, and node type fields
- It should have block view and not a page view.
- Set view type to "GMap: Extra Markers"
- Place the view on page that has a GMap displayed(via blocks or panels).
The markers are added to GMap markers collection via Javascript after the page is loaded.
Use can use a GMap Macro on the view to control the settings for the markers.
GMap Macro settings for the general Map will not apply.

Would love to have this for D6!
I have a view showing a custom content type on a GMap but unfortunately that content type uses a CCK Location field, and so I cannot associate a custom marker to it. This would be a great way to get around that!
