How to get map widget for location selection with Location / GMap I have GMap and Location modules set up and working. I have a working API key. The node with the location field can store long/lat or address data which I am using to populate a view. All of this works. The only problem I am facing is that I want the node creation form to use the GMap widget, so that users can click the map to populate the location field. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to enable this feature. I've checked everywhere that I can think of- any help is appreciated.
Have you checked out the Geolocation Field Module? It works with the Google Maps Api v3 and does exactly what you are trying to do. You add the map as a field/widget within your content-type. The Field stores lat/lon values.
