How to setup gmap maps on nodes (using location fields)

Question

I use the gmap and the location to show maps in nodes by adding the location field to the node content type.

Let's say I have 2 content types: Pubs and Restaurants Each one of them have a location field which allows me to show a map for the nodes. So far so god.

My problem is that I see no way to setup the map (zoom, marker, ...) in a different way for each one of the content types.

Let's say I want to set the zoom for Pubs' maps to 12 and the zoom for restaurants' maps to 10.

The only way I see to setup the maps is in admin/config/services/gmap, but these setting affects maps in all nodes of all content types.

I need to customize maps for each content type.

Answer 1

Using OpenLayers instead of Gmap you can set up different maps for different fields. It's more complicated, but with more options.

Answer 2

You can try Geolocation module. It allows you to add a location field (you can then easily select a location using Google Maps in node editing screen) in any content type.

The module then allows you to display the location on a node in various styles (including Google Maps).
