I followed this tutorial
http://groups.drupal.org/node/19614
but only get a see map link. I have tried all sorts of permissions fixes and block locations but I can't get a map to show up.
I've set all my defaults ect...
Anyone see this and been able to fix it?
THANKS!

astridman commentedsame here. subscribing.
Comment #2
ChaosD commentedsubscribing.... having the same problem
Comment #3
JakobMetzger commentedhave tried pretty much the same thing, blocks, permissions, reinstall, upgraded to latest version, etc...
"See Map" works, macros even work but I have not been able to get the Location map block to come up correctly.
Comment #4
Youdaman commentedSame problem. Tried putting the "Location map" block into one of the regions via the Blocks admin, but no luck.
It works for this guy: http://www.drupalove.com/drupal-video/gmap-and-location-modules-screencast
So I'm guessing it's a version-specific bug because I've seen it working but can't get it working following the same steps.
Comment #5
Youdaman commentedSeems the previous version works, or at least displays the map below the address details.
I tried the 6.x.1.0 version: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/gmap-6.x-1.0.tar.gz
However it seems the map width and height don't work correctly.
Comment #6
Youdaman commentedI actually got it working (at least for Page and Story nodes) with gmap-6.x-1.1-rc1 using the instructions on http://groups.drupal.org/node/19614 -- the first time I tried it I missed the step of setting the API key via the "Configure parameters" under admin/settings/location/geocoding -- you have to set the API key for the Location module as well as the GMap module, i.e. in two places.
I still have the problem of the width not being taken into account, i.e. the map displays with a width of whatever div/region it's in, so that if you set the Location map block to display in the Content region it is as wide as that region, which looks bad with a small height.
I also noticed that I can get the map to embed/display inline for nodes but not for users.
Another thing is that for the Collection settings of a Location for a node, I noticed that even if I set the "Additional" field to "Do not collect" it still displays in the form.
I'll raise the above as seperate issues.
Comment #7
Youdaman commentedThe issues above still apply, but only if you don't use the Views approach.
I've successfully created a View that shows a set of the nodes with Location data as points on a single Google map. That said, if you're having trouble with the "default" displays for Users and Nodes, create a View.
A good starting point is enabling the "location_table" and "location_directory" views (listed under admin/build/views, and provided by the Location module), and having a look at their settings. The easiest way forward then is to clone one of those and modify it to suit your exact field/filter requirements -- which is probably what you'll want instead of the "default" User/Node maps.
Comment #8
Youdaman commentedAs per http://www.drupaltherapy.com/gmap you can "see" a map by adding the Location Map block -- also click "configure" next to the Location Map block to set up how the gmap is rendered (it has a map macro with settings that override the default height/width etc).
