Watch this screencast to learn how to use Drupal to create Google Maps mashups of virtually any arbitrary data or content with no coding in minutes. For the example shown in this screencast I took a csv file of crime data provided by the San Francisco government and turned it into a usable google maps mashup in about 10 minutes.

To play along at home you will need to install the following:
- Drupal 4.7.0
- Views
- CCK
- Node Import
- GMaps
- Location
For now you will also need to add this snippet to your template.php file.Update to CVS version of GMaps and Views and you can create a 'Gmap View'.
