Hi,
I noticed in your module configuration that you can provide 2 API key, one for Yahoo and one for Google.
I don't understand what is the interest to provide google API key, as I'm unable to show the google map instead of the yahoo map on node display.
It is possible to choose if you want to display google map insteaf of yahoo map ? if yes : how ?
#1
I'm not certain and I'm sure the module author will provide a definitive answer, but I think the Google Maps option is geocoding only. In other words, the module uses both Yahoo! and Google for determining the coordinates of an entered address, but uses the Yahoo! mapping service to actually render the map. Is this correct?
#2
As far as I can tell you can use Google Maps to render the map output - I combined nodemap with gmapez (for the output) and that uses google maps - it works ... (the 5.x version but I think it's the same with the 6.x version)

I also need to show Google Maps instead of Yahoo Maps on my site.
People recommended I should use the Google Maps Location module instead, but it is not yet available for 6.x.
What is a possible solution?? Anyone???

I have edited my comment, as it wasn't really relevant to the issue at hand. However, I have gotten google maps to work via php input format. I don't know if that's really productive, but I have the site to reference and I don't want to be taking away from this topic.
Would you like me to post that link?
Sincerely,
Matthew

Hello, Matthew!!
You mean you've made it without the module?? So you can dinamically work with Google Maps in Drupal without node map??
I think any contribution would be nice at this point. Show us what and how you did, please!!
Thx,
Harald

I just used PHP to write to head using this method:

I don't if this is what you are looking forward to, but it helped me out and in a hurry too. But he mentions that it's outdated and the use of is a lot better. I have yet to try (experiment) with that notion, it might be more favorable. But the code posted on his blog there works, and if you haven't checked it out yet, you can see on my site on this page:

Is this helpful?
Sorry in delay, sort of forgot I had posts until I needed to find an update on my other requests.
Sincerely,
Matthew
