Development Seed: Hey, That's a Nice Map! New Custom Mapping Module for Drupal -

Ed Note - I've been looking at the nice map module with a fair amount of lust the last few days - Anyone else using it?

Putting your content on a highly custom map is now as quick and as easy as putting those same nodes in a list. That’s because the Nice Map module can do the heavy lifting for you by acting as a WMS client that integrates with Views. A WMS – or Web Mapping Service – is a standard that lets applications like websites request a map from a mapping server. Using the WMS standard gives you the flexibility to use a public WMS server or to use your own mapping server where you have complete control over the maps, which is what we’ve been doing recently for our custom mapping work.
