I've been testing the module, and so far so good.

I installed the gmap module, to try to see if I could get a gmap view pulling the data from simplest_gmap field, but this is definetly not doable at the moment.

I took a look at the code, but I'm affraid this is too much for me. However I think it would add so much to this module, and realy provide a great alternative to using the location module for these things.

I will help out in testing out this feature, but realy I cant provide even a prileminary patch for this...

Anyone know how to go about doing this?

I asume we would have to get class views_handler_field_simplest_gmap extends views_handler_field in business? So we can provide longitude and latitude fields so that gmap views can use them.

Or perhaps it would be wiser to use two seperate cck fields that store the latitude and longitude seperately, that way it would be eaiser to do the integration?

The main problem with views rendering is that simplest_gmap code is designed to have only one marker on one map. You have to rewrite many parts of the module to make this feature work, and I don't have time to do that now. Patches are welcome.
