Ingredients

Completed Recipe 61

Views Custom Field module:

http://drupal.org/project/views_customfield

In this recipe we'll create two different views. The result will be a listing of Senior Centers with a link to a view of the nearest Trailhead Parking areas.

We'll create a Senior Center content type, with a Geocoded address marker field (recall that the Trailhead Parking content type uses a Map marker field, the Recipe Notes contain a detailed comparison of the five CCK field types).

1. Complete Recipe 61.

2. Install and enable the Views Custom Field Module.

3. Create a new Map configuration at admin/build/gmaps-map-config/add (this is essentially the same configuration as Step 4 of Recipe 61, but with a different name, and the Default Tile changed to Normal map).

   Map type	Earth Map
   Configuration name	Street Map
   Default Zoom level	6 Note: Zoom levels range from 0 (Satellite view, or no zoom) to 19 (close-up).
   Allowed Tiles	Select Normal, Satellite, and Hybrid maps...
