$Id: Description =========== This module delivers support for the [Mapstraction javascript library][1], 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 an API for rendering maps and a style plugin for the Views module. When the style is used, it will display nodes as points on a map. The latitude/longitude points can be provided by any view field including CCK float fields or Location module fields. [1]: http://www.mapstraction.com/ Installation ============ 1.
