This month's presentation is "How to turn Drupal 8 into an advanced Web GIS 2.0 application with the Geofield Mapping stack" by Italo Mairo

As with Drupal 7, the Geofield module remains the most sophisticated solution to turn Drupal into a Web GIS (Geographic Information Systems) 2.0 application with advanced geo mapping and spatial representation and analysis.

It is the only module able to manage not only spatial features of the Point type, but also Geometry Collections such as Polylines and Polygons.

Building on the solid foundation of the Drupal 7 module, the Drupal 8 version takes advantage of Drupal 8's object oriented development patterns (services and plugins) while affording integrations with other Drupal modules and PHP geomapping & geocoding libraries.

We'll begin with an overview of the geospatial features that can be achieved with the Geofield Mapping stack using the Geofield, Geofield Map, Leaflet, Leaflet Markercluster, and Geocoder modules.

Then we'll perform a live implementation of a GIS 2.0 Web application in Drupal 8, simulating the management, categorization, and representation of points of interest in New York City.

You will learn how to:
- insert and represent points and objects of interest on Google Maps and Leaflet
- create views for the representation, search, and selection of features
- use geocoding and reverse automated geocoding of addresses and territorial locations
- take advantage of automatic geotagging of images (Exif GPS) and other file formats (GPX, KML, GeoJSON)
- implement advanced thematic representation of spatial data through customization of Marker Icons and contextual generation of Legend Blocks

Participation from and interaction with the audience is welcome, including Q&A, observations, and suggestions for the Geofield Mapping stack's feature roadmap.

This talk is most suitable for intermediate and advanced site builders and developers, though also appropriate for anyone interested in geo-mapping or geo-tagging with Drupal 8.
