This package provides the ability to assign geographical information to Dexterity-based (plone.app.dexterity) content types within Plone and does so using collective.geo.geographer and collective.geo.mapwidget.
By applying the behaviour Collective Geo Maps to a Dexterity content type, a Coordinates field becomes available when creating or editing said content.
This allows a user to either look-up coordinates for a place or feature via geo-coding, draw a geographical feature (such as a point, line or polygon) on a map, or enter details manually in Well-Known Text (WKT) format.
Collective.geo.behaviour also provides Collective Geo Styles behaviour. By this behaviour it is possible to customize the style of the features that will be displayed on the map for each content type.
Geographical information can be used by the rest of the collective.geo set of packages. For instance, the coordinates can be displayed on maps against Collections or Folders using collective.geo.kml.
