Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

Read moreProximity locator help for drupal 7
I am struggling with the process of creating a proximity locator for D7. There are several tutorials on the net, some for gmap proximity, but they are outdated. Even the gmap API key generation seems screwy, as google has updated it's keys to v3.
Another promising module is OpenLayers Locator module, which has very strange dependencies, and once I tracked them all down and installed the module, my site content was erased.
Has anyone successfully created a proximity search in d7, and have any resources that may help me?
