This is the documentation for the Geofile module

Overview and Features

This module allows you to display files such as KML or GPX on a slippy map.
It's using the excellent Openlayers module to display those data on maps.

This module provides:

  • A formatter for file field: Geofile Map
  • A view style to display results on a map using the submodule Geofile Views
  • An hybrid layer for Openlayers: allows you to store features from layers into a single layer.
