Issue Summary
I think it would be good if the Gmap module provided a tab by default that showed the GMap for Location-enabled nodes. I have accomplished this by adding the following code to gmap.module. My apologies for the lack of patch - I need to find a way to make patches more easily or else I just don't get around to doing them in the middle of the work day.
Anyway, I added this code to the gmap_menu():
<?php
$items['node/%node/map'] = array(
'title' => 'Map',
'page callback' => 'gmap_node_map',
'page arguments' => array(1),
'access callback' => 'gmap_node_map_access',
'access arguments' => array(1),
'weight' => 2,
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK
);
?>And here's the page & access callbacks:
<?php
/* Page callback for node map tab */
function gmap_node_map(&$node) {
if($node->location['latitude'] && $node->location['longitude']) {
drupal_set_title(t('Map: ') . check_plain($node->title));
$marker_words = "<h2>" . check_plain($node->field_volopp_org_name[0]['view']) . "</h2>";
$macro = "[id=map1 |center=" . $node->location['latitude'] . ", " . $node->location['longitude'] . " | markers=" . $node->location['latitude'] . ", " . $node->location['longitude'] . " | zoom=6 |width=300px |height=300px |align=None |control=Small |type=Map|tcontrol=on]";
$map = theme('gmap', array('#settings' => gmap_parse_macro($macro)));
$output = $map;
}
else {
$output = "Map not available.";
}
return $output;
}
/* Access callback for location_node_map() */
function gmap_node_map_access(&$node) {
if($node->location && user_access('access content')) {
return TRUE;
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
?>

Thanks! Works for me:)

Combining CCK, Locations CCK and jQuery UI Tabs worked for me. Quite flexible I would say.
Only semi-serious problem that I had choose is the problem to show gMap in a hidden tab. A little search allowed me to find this solution (#3)

I realized after I posted this code that there is a conflict with Feed API, if you have that installed. I would recommend using the name 'Show Map' and the path '/show-map' since Feed API owns '/map'.

I think this would be better in a separate module (that's how I have it now).
