Marshall, This is awesome. I'd say we might want to see color coded icons for different types of libraries (public, special, academic, etc) - since David's mashups were able to show us that information. Nicole 2010/1/5 Breeding, Marshall <marshall.breeding@vanderbilt.edu>:

There was a thread on this list recently involving the development of a map that displays all libraries using Koha.  David Friggens had developed a version using Google maps and data from lib-web-cats, but I think that it involved manually adding entries to the map.

The map for ILS implementations is one example of a more extensive map API that I have created in lib-web-cats that I’m still in the process of documenting.

I have created a new map facility in lib-web-cats that can be used to display such things as all libraries using Koha that are represented in lib-web-cats.  It’s still in draft form, but here is the map for Koha libraries:

Comments, suggestions, corrections, etc, definitely appreciated.

I hope this is useful.

Best regards,

Marshall, you rock !!! Just one question : we have more than 100 entries on Koha -- BibLibre, and only 2 entries are displayed (look at France). Do you have an idea why ? Can it be because we have filled "region" with something gmaps don't understand ? (http://www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-displaylibrary.pl?RC=43836) in this case, why is http://www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-displaylibrary.pl?RC=43424 not appearing ? -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
