Gmap is both an API, and a simple set of tools/widgets to use it. Perhaps you should explain a bit more about how you want to use it? Does this link contain all the information required to draw the map, or does it just link to a pre-configured page/node which has all this information? I've used the gmap API quite a bit, both with Location module (which is easier), and using the low-level API.

Have you looked at the gmap_cck module from gmap_addons? I haven't used this personally, but seems like it might do the trick for you.

When I did similar things, I ended up writing a bit of javascript, and using a hidden/collapsed area that showed up when you clicked on a button. Then the gmap had an even that populated the fields.
