Have a look at the the Location module (http://drupal.org/project/location). Basically, it allows Drupal objects (such as nodes) to be associated with geographical information. According to the project's description, it should be possible to feed this info to a Google map: "(...) - provides methods to perform geocoding operations (address -> lat/long coordinates) using third-party geocoding service providers - provides methods to connect to various third-party web map service providers" Does this look ok? - bruno -- Bruno De Bondt Web/tech Indymedia.be E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.indymedia.be Encrypted e-mail welcome.
