node view gmap: themeing fix

I want to be able to embed my map within the middle of my content. I don't want to use the block. I am using a special tpl for a "property" content type and am manually placing all my fields in the template using the $node object.

I see that the long/lat is in the title element of the coordinates information in the "view" array element, but it would be great if the long/lat fields were available independently. In fact, it would be good if all location CCK fields were available in the $node object independently to allow for advanced themeing.

The idea is that I want to pass the long/lat values into theme array for GMAP as seen below:

$mymap=array('id' => 'mymap',
    'latitude' => '49.19258642226091',
    'longitude'=>' -123.17647933959961',
    'zoom' => 10,
    'width' => '100%',
    'height' => '200px',
    'type' => 'map',
    'markers' => array(array(
        'markername' => 'small red',
        'latitude' => '49.19258642226091',
        'longitude' => ' -123.17647933959961',
    )),
);
echo theme('gmap', array('#settings' => $mymap));

Another is to do a block load in the template, but I think that offering all location fields for themeing is a good solution, too, because it will solve other themeing problems.

THANKS!
