geo

Hi Everyone

Just putting it out there that we should have a BoF for Geo Tools. There's a lot of new developments with geo tools and it would be awesome to share our collective progress and problems.

I'll put it up on the board, hoping we can have it on Saturday.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Buenas, he añadido a la página del wiki de temas para charlas una propuesta sobre temas geo.

Mi idea para cuando os apetezca es contar de forma lo más concisa posible cómo añadir un campo geográfico a un tipo de contenido para luego explotarlo en vistas con mapas. Intentaría introducir el mínimo de conceptos necesarios para tener los casos de uso más sencillos usando el módulo Geofield para almacenar los datos y OpenLayers o tal vez también Leaflet para la presentación de mapas.

Hi group!

I've been reading quite a lot in this group lately, since I've been working on building a geo-enabled (D6) site in Drupal. I've had a look at several modules, however due to future functionalities (e.g. WFS filters) and high amount of geodata to mapped and linked, I've decided to go with the native OL library.

My basic problem is that I'm not able to include the OL library on a node. I've tried the following options:

Hey OpenLayers Module users & developers,

So, you probably have heard that Development Seed isn't doing Drupal for products or projects anymore - it's been quite a few months since I've actually started up Drupal.

Anyone seen http://opendatakit.org ?
Allows you to create xml forms, and fill them out on an android smart phone. The data can then be sent to any server. The project has software for building forms (web-based), filling them out (android app), and a sever for data collection.

Data can include photos, geo-locations, text, selects, email addresses, etc. The forms are pretty customisable, and it seems easy to make optional and repeatable components (eg. for a family survey, add as many "children" form components made up of other form components as you need).

Hey guys.

last year i was thinking to a concept (planet agent) to help saving our planet earth by the potential power of people,

the idea is to launch a website which is a social network of environmental activists, Main feature of this social network would be th e possibility of reporting environmental issue and geotagging these contents in a way that could generate geographical RSS feed from them or a geographical newsletter which would be sent to activist in the same area...

I'm interested in discussing various setups and techniques for exploring large sets of geodata on the web. For starters, I imported the entire dataset of US postal codes into Drupal (as nodes) to see what limitations I could find using the OpenLayers module. The OpenLayers module uses the Views module to assemble datasets and output them to a user's browser where it is then rendered using the OpenLayers javascript mapping library.

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 apologize in advance for duplication but I also posted this over here: http://drupal.org/node/945446

I have a GMap with several nodes that come from a view and when the user click the node title inside the marker's bubble it get redirected to the actual node. However if the user goes back to the map these values are reset to the initial values and I need to present the map as s/he left it.

Right now I'm saving the latitude, longitude, and zoom in a cookie and successfully recovering these values when the map page is presented again map for some reason the map is not getting centered.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here is my code:

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.
