Map/Location Modules Confusion

Posted by AgentD on June 2, 2012 at 9:34pm

Hi all,

On Drupal 6 I used (at least I believe I used) the gmap and locations modules to have address fields on every node (of a content type) which would then display a map on that node based on the address input. This meant every node could have a unique address and map (i.e. not 1 address/map for the whole site, one per node).

You can think of it like a business directory if that helps, every node is a business and so has it's own address.

Looking at what is available, I'm confused on what's the best fit in Drupal 7.

Many options are:
http://drupal.org/project/openlayers
http://drupal.org/project/geofield
http://drupal.org/project/geocoder
http://drupal.org/project/addressfield

And there are others.

What would be the best way to accomplish this in D7?

Thanks for any help!

Want to bump this up. Anyone know of a google map per node module for D7?

Thanks!

I've taken to using the addressfield/openlayers route for d7 (which will indeed also require geofield and geocoder if you want to geocode your addressfields).

Thanks, I'll take a look. That many modules for a map seems like it'll be confusing...I may have to develop a help guide :)

For a really really simple map there's also http://drupal.org/project/simple_gmap
