Issue Summary
This module basically does away with having to use the awful gmap/location combination - except that the fields created here are not exposed to Views.
This is really an essential aspect, for this module to be widely used. If it was there, I can see this being very popular. Perhaps take a look at the gmap_views.module that comes with gmap.module.

#1
work in progress... :)
#2
Should we assume that this comes with free extra CCK support also...? :)
#3
Yeah to the views. This module is much better than gmap/location combo, with patching and stuff to make it work outside US.
Eagerly awaiting the views integration.
#4
Further to my CCK comment - I'm not sure if I phrased that correctly - I'm referring to making the address data available in $node, which IIRC it currently isn't.

Great news!
Try the attached patch.
It provides you with a views argument you specify simply the lat,long,distance you wish to check for.
Anyone else wish to review?
#7
I don't think that's what I meant by my initial comment. I was talking about being able to make reference to and order by the fields exposed by this module in views.
#8
Niklp, the fields are "exposed" to views, except the street number and street name one. But you cal build list views and pull out the full adress for example. As for more complte integration, I heard it should be coming by monday or in worst case, next weekend.
@dgtlmoon : looking forward to test your patch, I'll test this first thing in the morning.
