Component body

Geobrowser is a module for browsing drupal's spatial information. It provides a google maps powered interactive viewer for location enabled nodes.

An example implementation of the geobrowser module can be seen on http://mapping.uvic.ca

Features Include

  • Scalability to thousands of 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.
