First thanks for a great set of modules. I'm revamping a site for tourist commission where they have lots of accommodations. I really like the way the views integration goes and the way the Openlayers (Cloudmade) maps can be custom themed.

I have not been able to figure out how to get the geo xml plugin to work in Views. I'm trying to create an xml file that can be pulled by maps.google.com to give the client another option of working with the maps. So they can get directions, etc. If I select kml, no matter what fields I choose it doesn't place them in the file. on Simple xml it will put them in but the name for the tag matches my field names but not a standard naming convention that google maps, etc would understand.

Thanks,

I've worked a solution for my problem which will work for now. I just used the standard feed option that comes with views. Since my view was taxonomy related, I modified the view that comes with Views. I have an attachment that places the openlayers map above my listings and another attachment that creates a custom text field that has my link to google. Which is something like http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=http://myurl... . That displays my listings on Google. I'm limiting the feed to title only because apparently it doesn't use fields and I don't know how to use a separate imagecache in the feed to control the image size. That is a feature that I would like and if Geo XML can handle that better I would like to look into that more.
