Drupal 7

• Plain text (input & output)
• Google Maps (input & output)
• Geolocation HTML5 (input & output)
• Geolocation Proximity for proximity/distance based view results.
• 7.x-1.x-dev Google Maps Geocoder (backport of Drupal 8 version)
• 7.x-1.x-dev Template based microdata formatter (backport of Drupal 8 version)

Technical background (Drupal 7/Drupal 8)

At the moment Geolocation stores the following values in the database:

• lat (latitude),
• lng (longitude),
• lat_sin (precalculated latitude sine),
• lat_cos (precalculated latitude cosine),
• lng_rad (precalculated radian longitude).

The precalculated values will speed up proximity SQL look ups.
