The Drupal community has been working together to build tools that help collect, search and map geographically-relevant data for Drupal.
This new generation of Geo tools goes beyond placing pins on a map: you can collect complex and relevant data for legislative lookups, distance searches, and making your information more relevant to users. Through the use of open standards and a flexible framework, these new solutions can work together with other modules to provide mapping, exports and feeds to GIS servers and mashups.
This session will be focused on demoing the new OpenLayers Drupal module. This module can allow you to "mashup" data from many sources and display a unique map with variable styling.
OpenLayers is a free, open-source JavaScript library that provides an API for displaying an interactive map and much, much more.
Some of the topics that will be discussed or demoed:
Map presets and options for how maps behave and look.
