Geofield Map - Basic mapping for Geofield
This documentation is deprecated.
Geofield Map offers a basic mapping implementation for it. It is intended as a simple way to get site builders up and going with the Geofield module.
The module itself uses the Google Maps v3 Javascript API. It provides a basic field formatter and Views module integration, both of which have basic configuration settings and allows to display Geofield data on Google Maps street, satellite, hybrid and terrain tiles.
Enable
Enable Geofield Map at /admin/modules
Configure
Go to /admin/structure/types, choose the desired content type and click Manage display to use a Geofield Map as output formatter.
Views
Geofield Map is also available as a format in Views. To use this, create a page display in Views and add a field that contains geospatial data. Then choose Geofield Map as format. In the format settings you define which field contains the geospatial data and what the map looks like.
Alternatives to Geofield Map
If you need more than basic mapping needs, please use the OpenLayers module/library, or the lightweight Leaflet module/library, which are actively developed.
