I have just installed a gmpa module. I got an api key from gmap site, and finally turned on module.

It seems that module have installed properly. I can go into an administration/settings gmap page in my Drupal site. I can set a default gmap for my site, and I can generate Gmap macro.

The problem is that I don't know how to get a subpage (node) that will show the gmap. At the moment I need a map of the town, and in the future I will probably add some location tags/markers (for pubs, library, touristic sites), but I don't know how to get the gmap page.

Could anybody help me to go through the whole process of creating the gmap page for Drupal - step by step?

Best regards

When I set up gmap in 4.7 I found the directions in the Readme file to be pretty straightforward. I haven't used gmap in 5.0 yet, but I would think the Readme file would still be a good place to get grounded in the way the module works. I know you have to edit the theme file and also that gmap works with the location module. Those issues are covered in the Readme.

I read readme, and I wrote... IT WORKS... but I don't know how and where add the macro text to a node.

I pasted macro code into a node, (with the option full php or full html) and it didn't work.

The readme file didn't described it properly for dummies.

EDIT: OK... You were right. I read the readme file again and I found the solution.

Regards!

You need to enable gmap parsing in any input formats where you want to display maps:

Home -> Administer -> Site configuration -> Input formats
