As a newb in Drupal a few years back, Views, Gmap, and Location were very intimidating to me. I knew these 3 modules enabled me to show users and/or nodes on a Google Map, and I even had some Views written by more qualified co-workers to guide me, but I remember just feeling overwhelmed in general (Views was enough to do that back then). Now that I'm more comfortable, I wanted to give a tutorial on how I accomplished one such project recently, hopefully putting some of those same feelings to rest for anyone else new out there to this functionality.
