I've been struggling with gmap and location modules as I cannot find a way to implement needed functionality. But, because these seem to be somewhat generic requirement, I was wondering if there are people who have already solved these issues and are willing to share their knowledge. Ok, so let's go to the topics:
1) I need to display both nodes and users (or at least one user, me) on a same map. I guess it would be ok to model myself also as a node but is there any more official ways to accomplish this?
2) I would like to be able to update my location by drag n' drop via map without going to profile view. If I have a view displaying these kinds of data will I be able to modify content via View or do I need some custom module for that purpose?
3) I would like to see only those nodes that are nearby. Do I need to modify gmap module and therefore cause trouble in the long term in cases of module updates?
