Hello,
I would like to make a view for one map. I guess the view will show certain types of content types.
based on my research & practice, I figured out it is easy to implement. However, I do now want to show them on actual map such as Google map view or Bing, Mapquest, etc.
I wish I can show locations on one layer (just State boundary; like shapefile). then users can click the loation(point) & it should connect to the node page.
I could not found the option in gmap, or openlayer module.
Does any one know how to do this? please give me some tips.
Thanks,
Comments
Something similar can be done with the OL module
I did not manage to implement the image map behavior you are describing, but the solution I came up with is possibly even better for my needs. This one is made with the OpenLayers module: http://www.nabezky.sk/en/regions. It uses openstreetmap-derived base layer on top of which is a view-generated layer of geomorphological boundaries of Slovakia. The boundaries were uploaded as gpx files, converted by the Geocode module into a WKT data cck field. Unfortunately that module treats even polygon data as linestrings, so I had to resort into changing the WKT data into polylines by a database script to make the regions clickable and stylable.
wow
thanks for response.
your site is amazing. At this moment, I just add one layer and hide the base map.
I think I can do this with KML file.
I have tried (Location + gmap + gmap addon) and (openlayer + openlayer kml).
however, I think I do have access issue(kml file). when I test A macro file, it worked. however, B macro file does not work.
does any one know how to resolve this issue?
