Mapping

This project is a set of tools that creates a framework for other modules to build maps in Drupal. It is a common API to help leverage CTools by creating the necessarily building blocks for other modules to build maps, specifically Javascript-based maps.

Still very early in development. Help and co-maintainers are always welcome.

• Creates API calls to retrieve objects, rendering objects through map type, layer type, and style type plugins.
• Provides a standardized interface for defining these objects in Drupal.
• Provides a small bit of Javascript to jump start the map building process.
• Provides as example module.
• Provides documentation.
• This module is being developed in Drupal 7 and will not see any back ports to Drupal 6.
