What does it take to empower your users with the geographically relevant content?

.Our users want to be able to:

- Easily create content associated with real places. We must provide them with the tools to make this a pain free task.

- Find content near or associated with a place in the real world:

-- "Near me”
-- Within a radius
-- Close to a given location

- See this content in a good looking map

From the authoring experience to presentation and search capabilities, this session aims to provide a clear guide to implementing spatial content in a Drupal site.

Therefore, I will explain the use and integration of a set of modules and technologies which will make spatial content authoring, proximity search and flexible map presentation a solution without much mystery.

We will take an in-depth look at:

- Getlocations Modules
- Apache Solr and Search API Integration
- Search API Location
- Solr Views
- Leaflet
- Google Places API & Autocomplete
- Hook implementations

In a demo and code examples to see how they all together to provide awesome geographic content capabilities to our Drupal site!
