I have mapping working successfully with my Google Maps API key.  Is it possible to add a link for "Get Directions" that would link out to Google for the actual location directions?  Has anyone done this yet in CiviCRM?

Not from what I can see.

Huh - maybe I need to upgrade my glasses  Yep - there and working

this should not happen for most reasonable addresses. Can you reproduce this on the demo server.

middle of the ocean most likely means, we geo-coded the address to a lat/long of 0/0

I think I was after the same as you. Editing the civicrm/templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Map/Google.tpl

did the trick for me. Now the map zooms to all results.
Also I have changed the default zoom level for single contact to suit our needs.

We work with contacts from around the world and even when looking at the single contact most times it makes sense for us to get an idea where in the world we are (for us it is easier to zoom in). At the same time if we were mostly working in a certain area then some other zoom level for single contact would make more sense. Maybe the default zoom level should be configurable.

Now if I could find my newbie way around to making a map fill a bigger area - depending on the size of the browser - I'd be a happy puppy.

hey lobo:

as far as I understand the 1st case is a single point ( count($locations) )?
if so then we have a single point and for the single point a default zoom is a matter of preferrence (you might want to see neighbourhood, district, county, countr, etc..)

also, i managed to get my fingers around what I wanted... full diff is:

Now the map fills the available area and recenters on resize. Kept the height constant.
(am not sure about map.checkResize(), supposedly it might not be necessary and might cause problems on IE).
