I do it like this:

<https://github.com/evildmp/Arkestra/blob/master/contacts_and_people/templates/contacts_and_people/place_map.html>

The view for that template is:

<https://github.com/evildmp/Arkestra/blob/master/contacts_and_people/views.py#L234>

It provides the template with the place; the place ("Building" in the models, before I realised I needed to be concerned with places that were not actual buildings) will belong to a Site. Each Site can have one or more Buildings (i.e. places), each of which might have a map.

The Site.maps property in:

<https://github.com/evildmp/Arkestra/blob/master/contacts_and_people/models.py#L36>

contains a list of Buildings that should have a map for each Site.

The template loops over all those buildings to produce the map, right here:

<https://github.com/evildmp/Arkestra/blob/master/contacts_and_people/templates/contacts_and_people/place_map.html#L45>

Results look for example like:

<http://www.aikidocardiff.com/place/talybont-sports-centre/map/>

or

<http://medicine.cf.ac.uk/place/heath-park-henry-wellcome-building/map/>.

However many items are on the map, it will scale to fit them in its bounds.

Let me know here or on irc://irc.freenode.net/arkestra if you need more information.
