Question

I am using gmap and location modules to support my content type’s location.
I have configured those modules (Map API key, etc…) so when I edit / add new node I get pretty google map to choose/set lattitude jus by mouse pointing.
I can put also address, etc..
But when I view my node map is not showing up. I can only see address fields.

Why it is so confusing?

I have check display fields settings in admin/content/types settings page and all fields are set to be visible.
What am I missing here? Why map is not simply visible as the same as in the node edit page?

The standard theming doesn’t include an actual map, but it’s pretty easy to do. All you need to use to create the map is the gmap_simple_map function. I’ve done this in the location.tpl.php in the past as I usually want to override that anything. So I add something like this in the bottom of it to include the map:

<?php
  // "Geo" microformat, see http://microformats.org/wiki/geo
  if ($latitude && $longitude) {
    // Assume that 0, 0 is invalid.
    if ($latitude != 0 || $longitude != 0) {
      $marker = 'Whatever you want the marker to be.';
      print gmap_simple_map($latitude, $longitude, '', $marker, 'default');
    }
  }
?>
