Hi guys, i just installed the Google Maps Tools (gmaps).
Im trying to understand how it works, and for now, those are the steps i did:

  1. Created a new Taxonomy vocabulary (location type, available only on the Page content-type)
  2. Added a field to the Page content-type (field type: GMaps Point) named 'punto' (field_punto)
  3. Created a View:
    1. Style: GMaps Map
    2. Row Style: Map node Marker
    3. Fields: Marker option: Node Link
    4. Marker option: punto (field_punto) - Point option

..and this works, i can see the pages i've created in the map, but the map draw a line to connect all the markers..can the line be removed?
And i need to show different markers in base of the location vocabulary of the content, e.g:
On my page 'Foo' having the taxonomy vocabulary 'b&b', i want to use the red marker;
On my page 'Bar' having the taxonomy vocabulary 'hostel', i want to use the green marker;

How to do that?
And how about using custom markers?

Thanks!!

I just understood why my markers was linked by a red line, it was becose i was using the Field Earth preset instead of the Input Earth preset.. now its ok.

..remain the 'merker style problem' ;)

You HAVE to assume your visitor is a maniac serial killer, out to destroy your application. And you have to prevent it.

I've spent longer than I'd like to admit searching and changing settings with no luck. I'm starting to believe this isn't possible with this module. Which is ashame, because it's relatively easy to do with http://drupal.org/project/gmap

But this module has a whole boat load of other features I need...

His/her post:

Required steps:

* enable the GMaps Terms module
* enable the marker options feature for a vocabulary
* associate icons with terms in that vocabulary
* add the relationship "Related terms" to your content view
* add the view field "Icon options" from the group "Term marker option" to the view
