How do I add markers to my google map using Gmap?

Posted by beckyjohnson on October 31, 2008 at 5:25pm

I need some help with Gmaps. I've never used google maps before (in the sense of making my own maps) and can't really find the right documentation on the google map api site to help me.
How do I add markers to my google map using Gmaps?
Do I have to figure out the longetude and latitude on my own?
And I got my own map api key to my site but even so, I get error messages when I click on any links that relate to gmaps on my site, which say:

The Google Maps API key used on this web site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.

Is this Map API key error messing it up so that I can't add markers?

Thanks for any help,
Becky

You need a bunch of modules

You need a bunch of modules to do this:

Gmap
Location
CCK
Location CCK
Gmap Location
Views

You can see my map here:

I used CCK to create a custom content type, the location fields are in my CCK content type. I then used Views to create a Gmap view, that is what makes your map.

Feel free to ping me for help.

GMap, Location Module Basics in Drupal 6

It's been a while since I've used GMap in Drupal, but I remember this screencast being very helpful. I believe it discusses markers. http://blip.tv/file/1757174 I hope it helps.
