This session will be focused on demoing the new OpenLayers and Geo module. These modules works with ‘true’ GIS data (points, lines polygons) that are stored in a geospatial database (postGIS or MySQL Spatial). We will show you how to “mashup” data from many sources (including KML , WMS , WFS , Google, Yahoo etc.) and display a unique map with variable styling. If there is time, we may even get down and dirty with the very extensible openlayers API .
Some of the topics that will be discussed or demoed:
* Map presets and options for how maps behave and look.
* Inputting polygon data by drawing on a map.
* Map displays with Views
* Inline map with content filters.
* The OpenLayers Drupal API .
* The future of GIS + Drupal
This session will be presented by Patrick Hayes , one of the maintainers of the openlayers module .
Patrick did this talk at Drupalcamp Victoria, and it got some good reviews
