Leaflet countries

Introduction

When dealing with country data its useful to be able to highlight a country or a set of countries on a map. This module provides a field formatter which can display a single country highlighted on a map. It also integrates with Views which allows you to highlight your country based nodes as countries on a map.

The following image is an example of two nodes displayed on a map as highlighted countries using this module.
