Hi
I have been trying a few Location / Field related modules and I'm struggling to find the right fit for what I am trying to achieve.

I have a content type where I want to add 2 fields (to enter the longitude and the latitude) and then once the content type node is published it should display not only the 2 fields and values but also a corresponding google map.

Which in your opinion is the best module to achieve this in Drupal 7?

Geofield + GMap

For storing that data, you can use Geofield or Location.

Doing the mapping part with GMap might be the simplest option if that's all you want to do. The OpenLayers module will give you more flexibility but take a bit more effort in setup and configuration.
