There are many tutorials out there for creating maps in Drupal but most of them focus on just one layer on a map. This tutorial is for creating one map with multiple, switchable layers complete with pop-ups and a title. This tutorial covers creating a primary map based on one main content type and also adds an additional layer for a user's profile. This is a lengthy but thorough tutorial and I'll try to add images or a video at some point soon.

Inserting Inline images with the body text can be approached by different methods which will give various levels of flexibility. Although there are at least half a dozen techniques, this article talks about just two, one quick but less flexible, while the other one is not as quick but offers the greatest flexibility. What it boils down to is this: if you use a field to upload and place your image instead of just a WYSIWYG button to insert your image, you will have more flexibility overall.

OpenLayers is a tool for putting interactive maps online, displaying markers and map tiles from almost any source. OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies. This article describes how to use the Drupal module OpenLayers to create a map displaying markers which will be taken from a node's CCK field.

Required Modules

• Drupal 6 (this tutorial can likely work with D7 with minor tweaks. See this Drupal-Gardens article for a Drupal 7 tutorial)
