CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Is there a way to show a Google Map within a view created from a profile?   I'm creating a chamber of commerce site and want to be able to display an individual member's (public) profile data, including an embedded google map.  

I'm pretty new to CiviCRM and very new to Drupal, so this might be obvious to someone else.  The latitude and longitude are being populated and, of course, I also have the address.  But I can't figure out how to display the map.



Ok, I did figured it out.  Previous developer had installed Gmaps (Google Maps Tools) module and not the Gmap module (Gmap/Location) which is the one that reads Civi data.

Actually, the GMap drupal module does a fair job of generating a Google map from Civi geocoded data.  But it's pretty restricted as far as what can be on the map (just a marker, no directions, etc).   It's nice to have the live data, but we were hoping for more features.

Thanks for the advice about looking at the events maps - hadn't thought of that (I just inherited this site).  I'll take a look!
