eZ geo out

My location in Google maps

The developers at eZ continue providing what everyone wants and needs, and making it simple enough that all may use it.

The end of development of the Joe Kepley gmapslocation extension was a great loss to some of my efforts. Turns out, not only is it not ended, it is now a default content type.

Although still in alpha, eZ 4.2 includes the map extension OOTB. Also, in very early testing, eZ 4.2 alpha is running noticeably faster on my local server, downright snappy.

Creating a geo article is just like creating any other article, but includes fields for latitude and longitude. Not sure what all formats the fields may handle but 37.94 in latitude and -93.21 in longitude finds me in Preston.
