Geolocation provides a Drupal 7 field for storing Longitude/Latitude pairs. It currently supports:
- Plain text
- Google Maps
- Geolocation (HTML 5) Service
This module aims to provide a simple and solid way to associate geo-information to entities. You can add Geolocation fields to content types (nodes), users, taxonomy terms, comments and all other "fieldable entities" provided by contrib modules, e.g. private messages (Privatemsg).
Drupal 7
The module is getting a full rewrite maintained by derjochenmeyer and jm.federico. Here is a demo.
Warning
There will be no upgrade path until we have a first stable release. If you like this module, please help with ideas, bug reports, feature requests. Patches are welcome.
Technical
At the moment Geolocation stores the following values in the database: lat (latitude), lng (longitude), lat_sin (precalculated latitude sine), lat_cos (precalculated latitude cosine), lng_rad (precalculated radian longitude). The precalculated values will speed up (not yet implemented) proximity SQL look ups. Being considered is the possibility of storing geocoded address information AND/OR addresses
Task
Some basic configurations options are provided for widgets and formatters. Please file feature requests to start a discussion about UI implementations
