Map generated from custom address fields I have a seemingly simple problem, but I've been stuck with it for some time now.

I have a big database of nodes of one content type. There are addresses there made of text fields: one field for street, one for city etc. Province is a predefined taxonomy. I'd like to use 4 of these fields, including province, to get a string that can be geocoded as lat/lon for a map.

I also need these fields to be useable in Views (e.g. as filters like a province filter, as tokens etc.). It is doable in GMaps + Location (Views module recoginzes each locative entry as a separate field), but GMaps is seemingly an obsolete module, and it forces me to use predefined provinces which is not cool. 

Also, I need to display a small map when a user displays one of the nodes, and the other for the home page with all the locations marked and ready to get filtered out by exposed filters. 

I thought maybe geocoded Field Collection is an option for me, but the separate elements of such a field are strangely not visible in Views module as filtering/sorting criteria. I also tried the Computed Field, but there is a bug which prevents its text output from being geocoded. ( http://drupal.org/node/1679926 -- bug desc.)

Am I missing something? Are there any other simple ways to get a map made of custom fields as address elements?

You could use the Geofield and the Geocoder modules. The fist module allows to store geographic data in a field; the second one to extract the geographic data from another field, including an image field.
When you add a new field to an entity (for example, a node), you need to select Geofield as field type, and leave Geocode from another field as widget.



Clicking on the Save button, you will be then asked to change the field settings (which just allow to change the storage backend). After clicking on the Save field settings button, you can choose from which field the geographic data are extracted, including an image field.



The Geocoder module once allowed to select multiple fields from which the geographic data would be extracted, but that was a bug, reported in
Geocode from field allows multiple selections and fixed. If you are reading blog articles or tutorials that suggests you can select multiple fields from which the geographic data are extracted, they are all referring to older module versions.
