I installed the embed google maps module, but I can't seem to find instructions on how to use it. In just playing with it, I went to content types/manage fields and added the google maps field to the Page content type. This created an empty text box which says, "enter google map here:" But I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to enter here?

You can either enter an address and Google will attempt to place it on a map. Or you can paste in an URL to a google map or the embed code for a google map.

My bad - I misunderstood what this module could do. We have locations that are on mountaintops and forested areas that I'd like to show (preferable via satellite), but that have no physical address. I'd need to do it by long/latitude, so I don't think this module will work for that. I'm looking into Google Earth, but the module available seems to show the ip location of the computer user...rather than a location I could enter by long/lat. If anyone has any ideas for me....I'd love to hear it!

You can embed any google map. Simply place center the map on what you want shown and embed that map.

Alternatively create your own custom google map on the google map site with the location pins you want an embed that.

If you want the full location experience in Drupal look into using the location module.

Hello !

I have the same problem. I have to build an ride sharing website using Drupal and I can find the best way to implement this.

Here: http://drupal.org/node/1024600 I explain my problem. I thought that get_direction could solve my problem but not.

In another post it seems that this module could do the job: http://drupal.org/project/trackfield

I'm still studing it. If you discover how to make it possible post here, please

Good luck!
