Plone Maps (collective.geo)

collective.geo allows to geo-reference Plone content types and to display this information over a map.

Project Description

Introduction

collective.geo bundle is composed by the following packages:

collective.geo.geographer

provides geo annotation for Plone.

collective.geo.openlayers

enables openlayers machinery into Plone.

collective.geo.settings

provides some utility to store settings of collective.geo packages.

collective.geo.mapwidget

provides some handy page macros and adapters to easily manage multiple maps on one page.

collective.geo.contentlocations

provides a GUI for collective.geo.geographer.
It provides some simple forms to add geographical coordinates to Plone content types.

collective.geo.kml

provides KML views for georeferenced objects, allowing Plone content types to be visualized in Google Earth.

To display the maps, collective.geo takes advantage of Openlayers, a JavaScript library for displaying map data in web browsers, with no server-side dependencies.

As a default map source we can select OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Yahoo Maps or Bing Maps
