Google Maps

A great way to build Drupal's presence in your region is to start a Google Map of everyone in your country using Drupal.

Has anyone tried to incorporate the UMapper API within Drupal?

Hello everyone,

I haven't done much in these groups as of yet, just been hangin' out and watching how things get done, and learning. And man there's a lot of learning a person can do just by watching the threads.

I'm wondering what you guys find the best solution to be for maps in d6. Right now I'm using Gmap, and I'm sure I haven't used it to it's full potential yet, but I'd like to be able to put up the little clouds w/ notations, like you have when you use google maps online.

Thanks for any input,
Scott McKinnis

Hej,

Jag är projektledare och initiativtagare för ett lite större webbprojekt som vi tänkt oss lägga på just Drupal. Men det stora problemet är att varken jag eller någon av de nuvarande projektmedlemmarna har någon djupare kunskap om Drupal. Klart man gjort lite småsiter i det osv, men det känns som att vi behöver lite mer kött på benen. Har kört projekt i t.ex. EPiServer innan, men på inrådan av både vänner/kollegor och den rådande ekonomiska situationen så är vi väldigt inne på att välja Open-Source istället.

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.

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.

Hi

I'm putting together a Google map which will show all:

• Development companies
• Design companies who use Drupal
• Major Drupal employers
• Meetup locations

Hello all,

I'm looking to switch my user profiles to nodes because it gives me more flexibility with gmap.

Unless my user profiles are nodes, I can't use views to select them (or subsets of them) to display on a google map.

Has anyone had any experience of creating user location maps with nodeprofile/userprofile and gmap?

I've hesitated until now to change profiles to nodes. I'm not so worried about performance (low traffic site) but I don't want clashes with all my other installed modules!

crossing my fingers...

Cheers

Hi all,
in a project that I'm doing right now, I needed an easy way to display custom maps in nodes and the gmap module macros just didn't cut it. I ended up creating a filter module, that allows users to insert their Google's MyMap or KML file in square brackets which will then be replaced by a google map with the kml overlayed. It's built on the great jquery jmaps extension by Tane Piper. I finished a first beta today and its working pretty well, http://playground.placematters.org/?q=node/1, you can also download the source code there.

A few weeks ago, Google turned the street level searching for addresses.

So now in google maps you can just type in the "280 Ferrars St Melbourne" (the location of the Melbourne Drupal Meetings) and it will find the location.

This is really cool, and it make the geocoding of information in australia very easy.
