Question

Goal:
Display a custom location list on google maps based on the location of the user using geo location.

The list of locations needs to be given by me so the results will only have locations from my list based on proximity.

I did find the api documentation on google places api but I can’t seem to find any information on how to load your own list and use it in the results.

I am using drupal 7 as my cms. I came across this module but I am not sure of it http://drupal.org/project/location

Kindly help my sharing your views if this can be done ? if yes then please do provide links for me to read further on how to implement this.

Cheers,
Vishal

Answer 1

i understand that you are trying to show users objects which are near them, and you need users location.

you can use google map api’s sensor attribute when you add map link to your code.

it will detect user location and then you should use this point to show nearby objects.
