Implement Geo-location data #6

Closed kjaebker closed 12 years ago

kjaebker commented 12 years ago

Determine how geo-location can be entered for stops and exported to TourML.

karnold commented 12 years ago

its probably worth investigating geofield vs location on this. It seems like there is alot more development around the geofield environment in D7 http://drupal.org/project/geofield

karnold commented 12 years ago

So I talked with one of the developers of Geofield today to get a better sense of what that module is about. Some of the key things I was told was the ability to store lines, polygons, points. Out of the box there is support for a user editable map to create geographic data, enter as lat/long, bounds, etc. The data is stored in WKT format so I am not sure what tools in the API are available to convert that to a usable format for TourML. But all in all it looks like its a lot more flexible then the location module.

New related issue created for moving this to its own module. #14

With issue #14 complete, this can be marked complete as well.
