location

Hello

I am using node_load in order to calculate the distance of a hotel to the city center.
There are two content types: "hotel", which contains the fields latitude, longitude and city;
The other content type is "city" with city name as title and the fields latitude and longitude, the coordinates of the city center (thanks to maxmind.com geolite dates};

I am using the following script:

<?php
$title=$data->node_title;
$city = $data->node_data_field_hid_field_city_value;
$k = $data->node_data_field_hid_field_latitud_value;

Hello

I am currently running a website (http://archtlas.com) which relies on Location to store location data and GMAP to display it. I'd like to start using OpenLayers instead, because they are more complete and more customizable. I guess I could keep on using Location and OpenLayers, but I'd also like to make address input more user friendly, and there is where the questions come:

I'm working on a site that is a database of apartments in NYC. I would like to relabel or use more/different fields in the Location section to make the submission form more compatible with NYC addresses. Particularly I would like to have a field for "Borough," "Apartment #," and "Neighborhood." If I could change the label "Additional" to "Apartment #" it would solve that field, and I could even go with changing the "City" label to "Borough" but would prefer a drop down list rather than a text field input.

I'm building a set of baseline Drupal features, Debut, and as part of that am needing to standardize on leading Drupal solutions for various areas, including map display and geographic data storage.

Feedback requested for:

• Standardize on Geo as location storage solution
• Standardize on OpenLayers as map client solution

Please provide any insights etc. as comments on those issues.

Thanks!

I'm using the GMap + Location modules to generate my map and I have the marker type set to numbers. How are the numbers being assigned to the nodes when I'm creating a map using views?

I want to be able to assign a specific number to a specific node/location.

How would I do this?

I guess I could create set it using taxonomy and assigning a number value to each node, but it seems like there's a better way to do this.

I am creating a web site for lost / found pets.

Each pet's info will have a node.

I would like to let people narrow by location based on map, zip code, street/city/state and distance.

There are a lot of geo modules. Any ideas what would work best? I have found the location CCK field but want to make sure I am using the best method. I am guessing my needs are relatively simple but I would like it to be robust.

Also, Home Again (a pet microchip service) recently released an iphone app. Any mobile considerations would be great.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi All,

Does anyone have any updates on the status of the Darwincore Specimen and Location module. Perhaps it is better to use this code? Last time I tried this module I found it to be slightly broken and now I'm guessing it may not be up to date with the Darwin Core Standard, to boot.

Thanks,

Does anybody have experience creating route planning tools using any location/gmap/openlayer modules? Basically, my goal is to input an arbitrary amount of locations (with a fixed start/end point) and find the shortest route between all the points.

So -- what mapping modules are on their way to D7? I don't see any D7-dev versions of the usual suspects yet.

Heya all,

I would really appreciate a quick tutorial on how to build a generic Openlayers (2.x) block that will only display the location for the node (page) it is displayed in. Ideally this block will also center on that location.

I am using the Location Module and have successfully created an Openlayers Module map View (rendered via Cloudmade as page and also block) that displays locations filtered by content type.

The next step is to just display one of these locations dynamically (based upon location data available in the currently viewed node) ..?
