AustroFeedr - Mapping Open Data with OpenLayers in Drupal 7

hi everyone,

i would like to share my research project austrofeedr where we use openlayers to visualize aggregated data on a openstreetmap with custom popups and some further customizations like rich popups. you can see it in action at http://demo.austrofeedr.at/

there is an in-depth showcase description at http://drupal.org/node/1335456 and we also shared all features code including the custom behavior for the popups http://drupalcode.org/project/austrofeedr_hochwasser_features.git/tree/H...

i just joined the location and mapping group but have been contributing some patches for openlayers and plan to work further on drupal mapping during my diploma thesis. especially i'm interested in porting generic openlayers functionality to the new mapping module, trialing the more light-weight leaflet module and playing around with custom maps using for example mapbox.

if anyone is interested in such topics please let's start a conversation, i'm looking forward gathering some inputs for my diploma thesis! and don't miss First Drupal Book of 2012: Mapping with Drupal and the recent DrupalEasy Podcast 73: Lots of Options where Alan Palazzolo (zzolo) and Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t) talk about their book.

regards josef

Driving a large Google Maps Web Gis with Drupal ... to make it Web Gis 2.0

I have recently experimented an upgrade of large WebGis site based on Google Maps, trying to make it driven by Drupal, on the back side.
Wasn't that easy, but I really wanted to use my original front end interface (created with Google Maps, still Api 2 v.) and be able to manage data taking advantage of the web 2.0 abilities of Drupal.

Recommended Modules for Interactive Map in D7

I am new to drupal, web mapping technologies, groups.drupal and pretty much everything else in this space, so apologies for any faux-pas's vis a vis questions, posting locations, missing tags and what have you 8). tecjam inspired me to try posting up my own little project here to see if anyone might find the time to give me a little help on what to look at.

Best solution for project in D7 using Address Field, Geocoder API, Geofield, Geolocation (w. Maps), Search API (Not Solr), Search facets, Search ranges and Search views

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance in regards to a current project i'm working on:

Details:

Display businesses for a certain city by using geo data, a proximity slider from a pre-defined center point (supplied by field in the entity, url or defined in the view) and predefined start radius (also defined in the view or by url) - closest distance to center point are displayed first - with distance to center point calculated.

Architectural Brainstorming/Bikeshedding: Clustering on the data side or the display side?

Hi all,

As Geofield draws closer to releasing an honest to goodness beta release in the near future, I'm starting to think about features for the next version of the module. One use case that I'd like to be able to handle with Geofield that it isn't really suited for at the moment is high-volume, highly dynamic display maps.

Is it Possible to have both Content and User data in one View? Using Gmap/Location Modules

Hello, I'm using Gmap and Location, does anyone know know if it's possible to have a "View" that merges both "Content" & "User" information to produce a GMap?

Currently I have two Views with associated Gmaps, one that is shows locations of registered users on the web site and another View that shows locations associated with articles published to the web site, basically equivalent to store fronts. I would like to have a map showing both locations of User Locations and Content Locations all on one map.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
