Mapping Contacts
July 17, 2012, 05:23:54 pm
I'm really impressed with the ability to map Civi contacts to a Google map, but......
    is it possible to print or export the map? I can't find any way to do that.
    is it possible to map multiple lists, but in different colors? I can't just combine the list because I want to show, for instance, the locations of liquor stores compared to the location of treatment centers (lotsa NIMBY about the latter, little about the former).
Thanks for any help.

1. You might want to check how to enable print/export in a google map in their api documentation. Might be a fairly simple parameter to enable

2. Cant tweak the map from the UI, but you can write custom code / templates and do what you want :) Another option might be to check if drupal's gmap or other modules and see if that meets your needs

OpenLayers has worked for me in past - search and you should find my scruffy explanation

Thanks, Lobo and Pete. I think I am at the flat part of the learning curve, but it's good to know there are other resources out there. I'll check out your suggestions.
