Geobrowser is a module for the Drual CMS.
This module provides an interactive viewer for location enabled nodes.
An example implementation of the geobrowser module mapping.uvic.ca
Features Include
- Leverages Drupal's accessability (user passwords) and multimedia (audio, video, image rescaling, quotas) tools
- Scalability to thousands of map nodes
- Custom icons based on node taxonomy
- Layers (based on taxonomy) that can be turned on and off by the user as they browse the map.
- Hierarchical (nested) layers
- Support for multiple simultaneous vocabularies (meta-layers)
- Icon viewing priority via fivestar module. When the map would normally clutter, geobrowser prioritizes certain nodes for viewing and only shows lower priority nodes when the user zooms in.
- Support for 'stand alone' maps embedded in any web page
- Works with MySQL or PostgreSQL back-ends
- Control over how many nodes to view by zoom level
Features in the works
- Support for taxonomy (layers) with non-linear hierarchies and many to many relationships
- Ability to use more than just fivestar to sort node viewing priority
- Greater flexibility in node-information viewing on the map
- Greater flexibility over map css and layout (perhaps even theme integration)
- WMS support
- Links to GIS through PostGIS integration and use of Geo module (as opposed to Location module currently used)
