Read moreLocation from Computer to phone capability
I am trying to make it easier for customers to send directions to a phone off of a website. Is there any new technology out there that can help with this? I have been reading on drupal and I have found that you can send phone to computer but I have not heard of anything that does computer to phone technology.

Read moreMaking the OpenLayers Module Great
We're working very hard on the 2.x revision of the OpenLayers module, and it's becoming more useful by the day. Here's the current backlog for a 2.x release that I'm working on currently:
Behavior upgrade (rewrite)
OpenLayers advanced behaviors, which were formerly in the openlayers_behaviors module, have been generally rewritten for simplicity and compatibility with the 2.x branch.
Geotaxonomy Editing
Read moreLost in geo space: combining location and mapping modules to build a custom solution
Hi all,
I've been enabling and disabling geo, location, geocoding and mapping modules for the last couple of days, but have not been able to find a combination allowing me implementing this with Drupal 6:
- a user should be able to either enter a new location by searching with its name and/or address, OR
- by pinpointing it on a map.
Path 1. Searching by name and/or address
- The search should start with a simple text field. The user enters a name of a place and maybe its address or parts of it.
Mapping Implementation Options
Hi everyone,
I'm creating a new website aimed at listing local advertising options for small business owners. Below, I'll give a synopsis of my intended site (mapping) features, the core drupal mapping functions that I believe I'll need, and my implementation options as I see them.
My 2 questions are:
1) Am I missing anything? (Are there any core mapping functions or implementation options that I haven't thought about or that I'm just plain wrong about?)
Read moreDynamic labeled markers on a map?
Does any one know of way to produce a map with dynamic text based markers (labeled markers)?
Here is an example of a static map that show what I would like to achieve.
That way people can just look at the map and not have to individually click on each marker to see the contents.
Thanks for your help,
-Glenn
I have used location and gmap modules to produce a mapping site before, but all the markers are all the same.
Read moreVote for a Drupal Site to Win Apps for Democracy Contest!
We thought the Apps for Democracy contest was a great way to show the DC government that Drupal is the leading open source platform for government project and a great chance to get them familiar with the platform. So we built a Drupal site and entered it in the contest. You can vote for it here. You don't need to log in so it only takes three seconds to vote, but voting closes tonight at midnight, so vote soon!
The site we built is called DC Bikes and you can check it out here. It's a guide to biking in DC and puts mostly city data on a map so people find detailed bike routes in DC, monitor bike theft in real time, and buy bike equipment on Craigslist. This site is built on Drupal and is the only submission that is 100% open source - we used open source Mapnik for our maps rather than Google Maps. Specifically we used <a href="http://drupal.org/project/feedapi>FeedAPI and Feed Element Mapper for the site's aggregation, and the spaces module allowed us to build it pretty quickly.
Read moreTutorials on mapping with drupal
Hi Guys
I have been trying to build a site that takes in user data through CCk fields and then displays that information on google maps . I have been using CCK, gmap, geonames, location and views modules. I have been playing around with it for the last 2 weeks and have been unsuccessful. Which has lead me onto trying to find tutorials on how somebody would put such a website together. I have searched the drupal website, mastering drupal, lullabot, youtube just about anywhere i could think of. Please if anybody knows where i could find some information, would be greatly appreciated.
