Dom, if you contact me off list I'll send you some code to do 3 using gmap+location in a view preprocess function

It is powerful and once you get into it gives you a lot of flexibility. OpenLayers does indeed look cool. It looks like a bit of overkilll perhaps... what I'm trying to do seems straightforward enough: 1) nodes of type "event" have an "address" field. Fill in the address. 2) Single node pages have a map with a pin on it 3) views of multiple events have a single map with many pins <- (this is where gmap + geo is croaking) 4) ability to filter that view by distance -- xx miles from ZIP code. 5) all US addresses The modules I'm seeing do everything + the kitchen sink, minus one thing I need to do. Or they have dependencies that are broken. Am I inappropriately lost here? Am I just being dense? -D Internal Virus Database is out of date.
