I have been trying to get node locations to display on a map in views. I have a CCK location field, I'm using a relation to add the cck field to location. Pager is disabled, gmap style map, not sure if I should use the location.module or the cck field lad/long. When I preview or go to the actual path of the view I am not seeing any map. I feel that the worst that should happen is to not have any markers. I have a default macro that I generated and my gmaps API key is in the gmap module and location module. Anyone have any ideas?

Or at least point me in the direction of a decent tutorial. I haven't been able to find anything useful, I would love to see a screencast or at least a step by step guide where they don't gloss over a few things.

I found that if I add Location as CCK field, gmap view show nothing. I have to use the Locative Information setting in the node itself. So don't add Location as a CCK field, go edit your node content type and enable Locative Information setup there. Then your should see gmap view. Make sure you enable lat/lon calculation in the Location module settings. You can be sure of this when you enter a address and lat/lon field is filled with numbers afterward.

Thank you! I thought I tried something like that before but I guess not. Great to finally see a map.

It has been my experience that sometimes wonky things can happen to location data when updates are made. At times, my map views would disappear, as well, rebuilding a gmap view display didn't help the situation in the least. The only way around it was to delete the nodes with location data, and create them anew.
