unep_maps

This module utilizes UN Geospatial services, enabling content managers to showcase data on geographical maps using an officially endorsed set of maps from the UN. To learn more, visit https://www.un.org/geospatial/mapsgeo/webservices. Additionally, it can display data on Mapbox maps using specified Mapbox styles.

Using Drupal content entities such as Nodes, Taxonomy, content managers can create views which render data on the map through the use of Leaflet mapping module and Mapbox platform.
