geocoding

Now that g.d.o has been upgraded to D6 is there any chance of creating a location based map for all events? Something like the map in http://central.wordcamp.org/ but with some views filtering options would be very cool way of browsing events and quite easy to implement. We are starting to have so many Drupal events every year that it's difficult to keep track on what's going on. Map with filtering by event type and dates would be a huge improvement on usability.

I have users in one side and events and links in the other.

I do no expect Users having trouble finding their location in a map. ;)

However, as an administrator, when I add locations for events or other links, since I do not always know where those places are located, I ended up having my editing page and a google maps page open at the same time and going back and forth between them in order to add a marker.

I figure out a shorcut for this problem until geocoding finally works (perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I do not see geolocation working yet).

As a non-profit effort, we are looking for someone that can use their drupal and custom development skills to make a real difference. It has been an exciting effort, and we have made leaps and bounds since the site launch in April. At this early stage, there is very little money to offer up for development. I am ultimately looking for people who want to see this effort succeed and will put in the extra time, but we could discuss possibilities for paid contract work, which if are working out well could evolve to be full-time positions.

Does anyone know anything about http://www.opengeocoding.org ?

Hi guys!

I'm in need of the perfect location selector to efficiently geocode lots of my data. Are any of you guys working on something that might be useful? We should be able to 1. Input place names 2. Input addresses 3. Place pin on map -- to get lat/long out at the other end.

am looking for a drupal developer to work on social networking project centered on geo-spatial and interest data. I broke-down the project in several phases, phases 1 being very basic. So if you agree with this approach and you are an expert with drupal, php, google map's api, the gmap module, the categories module (CCK) and how it can apply to profiles, please do read on. Lastly, it would help tremendously if you would share with me any implementation examples similar to the specs below.

So here's a preview of the high-level functionality I need developed/implemented for Phase 1:

I am trying to create a map of node locations, but only for nodes of type Event and Event with Volunteer Timeslots. I've got Location and GMap configured with the API key in all the right places. I'm using the latest dev releases of these modules.

However, when I create a new event node with location data, no geocoding occurs. If I query the location table, I can see my node with the correct location, but the latitude and longitude fields are null.

I looked at location.module in the location_nodeapi() function. Around line 842, I see:

• A. Geocoding / Address Storage
• B. Geospatial
• C. Data Entry
• D. Data Searching
• E. Data Visualization
• F. GeoRSS / KML / GML
• G. Web Feature Service

I am working on a large Drupal project for an anthropology program at my university, which is both a research tool (a means to enter and catalog information) and a teaching tool (anthro students can search the data and do 'virtual visual ethnography,' compiling field research to write their own paper). Anyway, cool concept, very powerful... ummm... 25,000 nodes and counting.

However, I can't map any of it easily because Google Maps has little to no road data on Mexico, and geocoding is not an option (besides, most people in these villages don't have addresses).
