This project provides a field type to store geographical locations with latitude and longitude coordinates. It integrates with various map providers, views, and search APIs to display these locations on maps. The module also offers optional support for advanced geometry fields and works with multiple popular mapping services.
Geolocation Field provides a field type to store geographical locations as pairs of latitude and longitude (lan,lng) as well as the necessary integration to display those locations through views, fields and using a number of different map providers.

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.
