Hi,
First thanks for this A.W.E.S.O.M.E module, I'm impressed to see a so great user interface and usability.
However, there is a "little" missing feature that could be really good, this is the views integration.
It would be very cool to see this feature for the address field, basically, you could find in view fields, views filters, views argument the different field you can find in the address (street, city, country) etc...
I think all component of an address should be in a separated view option to provide a better granularity, this would provide node listing by city, by countries etc.... without the need to create custom CCK fields to do that, and so, would avoid user to fill 2 times the same informations. ATM for example, if you want to list your node by country, you have to create a CCK country field, so, when you add or edit a node, you have to fill the CCK country and then the node map address in which you repeat the country.
regards,

hi
10x for the suggestion. this feature will hopefully be available in the next versions. will have to ask help from the views developer, as i don't fully yet understand all the views's system.
cheers!

yes the module is great and works 'out of the box'
i am not a coder but just a wild theory regarding the suggestion above -
Would not be more flexible - if the nodemap.module integrated as a CCK field than;
as the Views module can handle any CCK field outputs various ways -either as 'page' or 'block'
that way you don't have to integrate to Views, it will be dealt as just another cck field in Views
here is some tuts on cck fields (you might probably know already though)
