I have made some plugin to have a googlemap field build with city, adress, ...
All is OK for a single view (item view)
I'd like now to have ( a template ?) to show a map with many flags corresponding adress/city (or GPS coords). When mouse over flag, it could display the title of the item and when clic open the item view.
I still want to use my filters of course, because the map should'nt display too much flags/data at the same time.
Any idea ?

Sorry it's a question. I have only made the google map plugin, but I search how to display a category view showing all items in a map.

I will share it of course if I have a solution

to do a google map with a link of all articles I'm using contentmap from www.opensourcesolutions.es/en/ext/contentmap.html

It's working like this :

In each article you give the address in the metadata fields (some special fields are added to enter the address).

I create a special article with a plugin which shows the google map. Each tag of the map is hyperlinked to the corresponding article.

When I want to display the map with the articles tags, I just display the article containing the google map plugin (from content map).

You can customize the google tags (if the articles corresponds to special categories).

It's FC compatible.

Not at all.
In the metatdata fields you have a field called content map (which contains Lat and Long values).
But at the right of this fields you have a button which allows you to open a Googlemap pop-up and you field where you can enter the real address.
When you validate the form you get the corresponding Lat and Long inside the content map field.
If course, if you know them, you can manually enter Lat and long in the contentmap field.

Moreover you have a second field which allow you to choose the Google tag for this address, you may choose between a lot of standards tag, and if you want, you can add you own customized tag inside the contentmap tag directory and choose it.
That allows you to get distinct tags inside the same map (hotel, restaurant, supermarket...)

best regards
Michel
