Location Based Nodes, Gmap, GoogleMaps API: An Introduction

Every wish you could create historical maps of information? How about when you create a page, you can add location information to it, and then a pin appears on your very own Google map?

This will be an exploration of the capability to add location to your nodes, displaying them on a Google map. This is not anything new, but a configuration demonstration that requires a tiny step from Google.

Skills required: ability to request a google key, ability to upload modules, ability to adminster modules.

This is using Drupal 6.
