Google Maps location
This simple Drupal module displays just one geographical location via Google Maps, for brochure and company profile web sites.
It will:
- create a Google Maps page with a marker on your location based on an address you supply. The map provides options for map view, satellite view, and a hybrid mode. It has the standard Google Maps features that users can zoom and drag to temporarily change the focus of the map.
- allow anyone given administrative approval for the module to drag-and-drop the map location marker for fine-tuning its position, when automatic geolocating from address information was not accurate.
- create a block with a static image of the centre of your map, which links to the larger map.
The final 6.x-1.0 version has feature parity with the existing 5.x branch. From this point forward, new features will only be added to the 6.x-2.x branch. I am happy to accept patches that backport new features to 5.x but will not be doing this myself. The future of Drupal is D7, the present is D6—if you're still running on D5, now is the time to upgrade.

Initial development of the 5.x version of this module was sponsored by Informatika Mihelac.
Kudos to expandonline for much of the work on the initial Drupal 6.x port.
