The Mapping Kit is a collection of modules to support custom mapping for a Drupal CMS. Demo's can be found at http://aardbodem.nl/node/26.

An important concept for mapping is the map context to specify the map's extent and projection, and the layers to include. The OpenLayers map context is extended to include map title, and legend and queryability of a layer. Locations of users and nodes can be entered in any map projection.

Map layers which are linked to a taxonomy can be dynamically added to a map.

Google Maps and Virtual Earth can be used as base layers but limit your choice of map projections; they only support lat/lon (EPSG:4326) and transpherical mercator (EPSG:900913).

Most functionality of these modules can be used with both MySQL and PostgreSQL/PostGIS; in case a PostgreSQL database is used for your Drupal site, the Mapping Kit can be used to import data from zipped shapefiles.

This kit can be described by these keywords: geodata, mapserver, openlayers, postgis, postgresql, wms.
