<p>Geofield is an advanced module for storing, managing and representing dynamic Geographic data in Drupal. It supports all geo-types (points, lines, polygons, multi types geometries, etc.), and integrates with various Js Mapping Libraries (Google Maps, Leaflet, Open Layers, etc.) and advanced Geocoding / Reverse Geocoding functionalities, via many other Drupal Geo Mapping modules.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.geodemocracy.com/geofield_d8/web/" target="blank">>>>> Live Demo <<<<</a></h2>
<h2><b>Widgets (Data Input)</b></h2>
<p><b>Latitude and Longitude</b><br>
Supports entering data as both Decimal Degrees (122.340932) and Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (-123° 49' 55.2" W). The Degrees-Minutes-Seconds input is very tolerant of inconsistent input.</p>
<p><b>Bouding Box</b><br>
Four textfields where lat / lon can be entered</p>
<p><b>Well Known Text (WKT)</b><br>
A textarea for direct WKT input</p>
<p><b>Draw on an OpenLayers Map</b><br>
Allows drawing of Points, Lines, Polygons and Bounding Boxes</p>
<p><b>HTML5 Geolocation</b><br>
Transparently asks the browser for the user's current location. Works great on Chrome and smartphones with GPS.</p>
<p><b>Geocode from another field</b><br>
There is native integrations with the Geocoder module (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/geocoder" rel="nofollow">http://drupal.org/project/geocoder</a>).
This allows you to use data from one field to populate your geofield automatically. Supported geocoders include:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Various <a href="https://packagist.org/providers/geocoder-php/provider-implementation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">PHP Geocoder Providers</a></b>: Address Field, Textfield</li>
<li><b>KML</b>: File field, Textfield</li>
<li><b>GPX</b>: File field, Textfield</li>
<li><b>GeoJSON</b>: File field, Textfield</li>
<li><b>Geotagged Image File</b>: File field, Image field</li>
</ul><h2><b>Formatters (Data Output)</b></h2>
<p><b>Latitude and Longitude</b><br>
Supports display as both Decimal Degrees (122.340932) and Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (-123° 49' 55.2" W)</p>
<p><b>Well Known Text (WKT)</b></p>
<p><b>GeoJSON</b></p>
<p><b>KML</b><br>
KML is the format used by Google Earth</p>
<p><b>GPX</b><br>
GPX is the format used by GPS devices</p>
<p><b>Google Maps, Leaflet and OpenLayers (only for D7) Maps</b><br>
Display your data on a map, integrating other Drupal Geofield Mapping modules (see below).</p>
<h2><b>Installation and Setup</b></h2>
<p><i>For Drupal 7 version all you need to do is install the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/geophp" rel="nofollow">Drupal GeoPHP module</a>, which is required by geofield.</i></p>
<hr>
<h2><b>Drupal 8 & 9, and GeoPHP library dependency</b></h2>
<p>Since <strong>8.x-1.0-alpha2</strong> version, this module is not depending on Drupal GeoPHP module anymore.<br>
<b>The Drupal 8 & 9 version of Geofield module needs to be installed <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-composer-to-manage-drupal-site-dependencies" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">using Composer</a></b>, it means simply running the following command from your project root (where the main composer.json file is sited):</p>
<p><b>$ composer require 'drupal/geofield'</b></p>
<p>This process will also download the required <a href="https://github.com/phayes/geoPHP" title="GeoPHP library" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GeoPHP library</a> dependency, that will be sited in the /vendor folder (as Drupal 8 default settings).</p>
<p><u>Note:</u> Since version 8.x-1.20 Geofield also supports the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/ludwig" target="blank">Ludwig module/project</a>,
that offers an alternative to users who are not friendly with the command line
tools or want to avoid Composer usage for other reasons.
<hr><p>Once installed you can enable the module in the usual way, both from the extend/modules backend interfaces or via drush with the following command:</p>
<p><b>$ drush en geofield</b></p>
<p>Once enabled the module it will be possible to add a "Geofield" field type to<br>
any entity type/bundle and then choose the preferred widget or formatter.</p>
