[Drupal] How to display gmap on in node view page
In one of my recent projects a requirement was to add a gmap to a node view page. I thought of writing it down so that some one may find this useful.
The module which I used to accomplish this is,
This Module has two sub modules named "Geolocation Google Maps" and "Geolocation HTML5".
The Geolocation Google Maps module Provides pretty cool widget for the users to select the location by clicking on the map. They can either type in the location and or simply select the location by clicking on the map.
The Geolocation HTML5 module defines the location using the Geo location API
