gmap

Hi folks.

I followed this advice http://groups.drupal.org/node/1008#comment-3690 and modified /misc/*.js files. Now I see gmap.module doesn't work after this modification. (the module works OK when I copy those files back). Well, I mean not the module itself, but google maps. They just don't appear :(

Can anybody help please?

I've been dabbling in getting a kml module together for Drupal for a while and have recently got it to a state where it's useful out of the box and still has good potential for future development.

The Drupal KML module currently lets you add a 'KML' link to the bottom of all location-enabled nodes (requires location.module), which then fires up Google Earth for you. The single node KML link is the most obvious functionality in the module, but it also allows you to view all nodes, or all nodes tagged with a certain term. There is functionality also to create network links for any of these feeds, giving you a continually up-to-date set of nodes from your site in Google Earth.

I'm looking for some speculation and setting-straight. If you look at the links below, you see that the developer has used the Google Maps API to mark a polygon.

I understand from the README that this is not currently built into gmap. Have I got this right?
Thanks

Does anyone know if groups.drupal.org will have Frappr functionality at some point in the future?

Please see my post under http://groups.drupal.org/mapping at http://groups.drupal.org/node/343#comment-969

And here are references on what is needed to make Gmap functionality possible:

Google Maps API has added the ability to Geocode (translate addresses into lat/long's). I am trying to figure out how I should incorporate it into the GMap.module.

I am thinking that maybe I will add a php function gmap_geocode($address) and also add a javascript function to gmap.js gmapGeocode(address) so that geocoding can be done either server side or client side depending on the application.

Initially at least these functions will just be API functions. Hopefully, I can find some time to to some changes to the macrocreator and I will incoroprate the add point at address into that.

I have been thinking about some things I would like to do a bit differently with the GMap module. I think it is time to clean up some things and optomize some other things and generally make a number of improvements. My first plan of what to look at is the javascript produced and specifically the marker creation and manipulation js.

I am thinking that rather than having the gmap.module create the js to write the markers I will have the gmap script to a drupal_to_js() conversion of the markers array and then have it call a function in gmap.js to add the markers from the array that is created. This will allow easier extending of capabilities of the gmap functionality.

I'm about to launch a site with a gmap.module/location.module node map, but all of a sudden my map/node page broke. My Firefox status bar tells me it's either "Connecting to www.acme.com..." or "Waiting for www.google.com...", but then it times out and produces a map without any markers, where there used to be 60.

Apparently i'm not the only one having problems. [zacker.org/mapdev/: as of 1am Wed May 24, no markers appear there either].

this makes me wonder about the longterm stability of using gmap macros. any ideas?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have significantly updated the gmap.module. The most significant update is that there is now the module gmap_location.module packaged with it. This module includes the ability to display nodes that have lat/lon location information associated with them on a common map. It also includes a block that will show the current node on a google map.

Story: On Saturday night Drummy, Tony, and I went to Super Happy Dev House IX. I was a bit drunk. I bet Neil and Tony that I the "business guy" would beat them the "hackers" at hacking. My goal for the night was to integrate the gmaps module with views to allow users to create maps of any view.

I won handily:

Here is the theme code required to do this (add to template.php):
