I have successfully installed the gmap and location modules and want to insert a map into my web page. I want it to be static in that it should be the same map for everyone that visits the page.

I have tried creating a content type with "Locative Information' but this is not what I want. The problem with this method, as I have seen so far, is that it simply displays the address i input and creates a link to google maps. Unfortunately, Google Maps doesn't like that street address (not sure why, it is a large commercial building), so the map that it links to is not very accurate.

Ideally, I would like to make a small map appear for certain pages in the right-sidebar. If that is not easily possible, I wouldn't mind having the map appear in the main block. I have had a hard time finding general documentation (mostly tutorials for things I don't need), and I feel like Drupal documentation in general isnt geared toward sites like mine which are 95% static (thought the dynamic parts were done quite easily),

Any help is much appreciated.

At the time, I was thinking a little too inside the box. I'd never used the G-Maps API before, and didn't realize I could just manually insert the JS into the block where I wanted the magic to happen. There was no need for any modules.
