Would love to have a geo facet.

Bascially having a map displayed, and if the user zooms or changes location the view is updated with what is visible on the map.

http://drupal.org/project/facetapi
for example: http://clipglobe.com

Definitely looks interesting, but out of my range of expertise. Also, I thought we already had solr-integration with the module? @giorgio79, for features like this, I'm always happy to accept patches to help improve our current solr integration, but you'll also (unfortunately) need to walk me through a) what's changing b) why it's changing and c) how to test it.

Thanks Brandonian, I am waiting for some info from the authors of that module:
#1589316: Integrate with Search API as Geofield Facet

A generic Geofield Facet module integrating with http://drupal.org/project/facetapi and http://drupal.org/project/search_api would make sense, instead of only integrating with Apache Solr. I like how search_api allows for a db backend, not just Solr.

Will update here if I have more info :)

The initial request refers to (paraphrase)'zoom & pan the map and see something different' That work is done in the views_geojson module. It loads data when you change the map.

To get that working with search_api_views, you at least need the patch in this issue it still needs work, as you can read there. Help appreciated.
