Clueless in Culemborg: no maps in nodes

Hi there,

By now I'm desperate for some pointers. I'm really interested in OpenLayers for Drupal, but I can't get it to work properly and configuring it is proving to be strenuous. I've been at it for days, literally. I can create layers, maps, even views displaying OpenLayers maps, but once I create a custom content type, I can't get any map to show in a simple content page. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, because it's possible for me to create a view in which the map is displayed for all to see.

I created a demo page on a view on http://www.bureaudigitaalerfgoed.nl/oegstgeestview (which by the way has issues I don't understand), but it doesn't display a title or a body text, despite the fact I supplied these fields (wrongly & clueless, I suppose) in the view page section. For those interested: it is an archaeological research map in EPSG 28992 plotted on OSM.

I followed several tutorials but they all include some sort of geofield or other geographic input type that I don't want to use right now. I installed the geofield module (because everyone tells me so :) but I'd like to start with the basics, to just display a OL Map on a page with some basic info fields but haven't been able to find a simple instruction showing you how to display just a OpenStreetMaps map, a title and a body text in a simple page. Do I actually need a view with a OpenLayers data overlay? If so, what is the absolute minimum of input to supply? How do I embed such a view on a page or am I thinking about it in the wrong way?

I'm happy to supply any info with the issue, but since I can't make heads or tails of the inner workings of the views configuration, I don't know where to begin.

Many thanks in advance!
