Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

location - google maps - gps coord override

When I have a address (location module - cvs), which google maps does not recognize, how do i use the gps coordinates instead?

How can I make it work so that the gps coordinates are used instead of the address?

I've emptied out the address fields and updated the gps coordinates but that does not work

Where do I start looking?

How can I turn off the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) for Log Messages?

does anyone know if it is possible to turn of a WYSIWYG editor (in this case TinyMCE) for a specific textarea (in this case Log Message)? It isn't doing any harm, but it is un-necessary for this part of my site.

thanks

new content type - step-by-step how to

description
I want to create a new content type, like page or story... it will be called how-to or step-by-step. I need help choosing which modules to start out with, and ideas you have to make my plan better or easier.

how a user creates the content
First I fill out a title, then a brief description that will be used as the teaser when shown on front page or category pages. Next I will have a textarea, image upload, and buttons to either add another step or finish. the image will be automatically associated with the text of this step. No need to insert the image within the text with a special tag or anything, it will be an automatic two column layout for each step (text on one side, image in the other). If "add another step is clicked", then the process continues.

features
I'm not entirely sure but I think I would need flexinode with one or more of the image modules. Or maybe I can just use a modified image gallery. On the finished page, i'd like each step to be zebra striped. Each image should be compressed and scaled down so it's not too wide, clicking will launch the full size image. Or do you think it would be better for each step to have it's own page? Either way I want it to be easy for the user to print. If each step had it's own page, a print function would need to launch a new window and combine all the steps into zebra anyway.
