The Mapping kit is a collection of modules to support custom mapping. Some demos can be seen at http://aardbodem.nl/?q=node/26.

This module delivers support for the Mapstraction javascript library, which provides an abstraction layer for the various map providers including Google, Yahoo!, and MapQuest. It allows you to quickly display maps on your site from multiple providers and switch between providers without worrying about differences in their APIs.

The module provides a Views style plugin and an API for developers to use maps elsewhere. When the Views style is used, it will display nodes as points on a map. The latitude/longitude points, info balloon contents, map icon, and one or more attributes can be provided by any view fields, including those from CCK. Other settings can be seen on the attached screen shot.

• Retrieve user's geographic information based on her ip address.
  This module is based on a relative accurate IP database from http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity, which is free and will be updated regularly.

  Every time a user logs in, her ip address and geographic information will be updated and stored into database.

• Site Administrator can select which format of geographic map, she'd like to display on user's profile page.

The geonames_cck module implements a CCK field type that uses geonames (http://www.geonames.org) to translate location names into their longitude and latitude coordinates.

This module was designed to work with the geomap (http://drupal.org/project/geomap) module. Locations are output using Geo microformats, and the geomap module will display any geo data on a google map.

We use the geonames web service module (http://drupal.org/project/geonames) to handle the actual communication with geonames.

6 feb 2009 - Geonames are currently not running their free web services. You will struggle to get this working without the commercial option.

The Open Calais is an integration of the Thomson Reuters' Calais web service into the Drupal platform. The Calais Web Service automatically creates rich semantic metadata for the content you submit – in well under a second. Using natural language processing, machine learning and other methods, Calais analyzes your document and finds the entities within it. But, Calais goes well beyond classic entity identification and returns the facts and events hidden within your text as well.

GMap Lat/Lon is a small glue module that provides Latitude and Longitude Views fields for nodes with gmap_cck fields. Among other things, this allows the gProximity module to display a map showing all nodes with gmap_cck fields. The Location module should also be able to do this but, at the time of writing, has no supported/usable releases.

The MLS Module allows for Drupal sites to incorporate real estate listings provided by MLS services as CCK content. It opens the door for access to RETS and IDX based MLS feeds. Currently, you must also have VieleRETS installed in order to tap into RETS-compliant listings. For IDX based feeds, this module includes a simple API for turning csv-based feeds and their images into nodes.
