Geolocation Provider

The Geolocation Provider module allows webmasters to use and developers to define multiple geolocation providers using the Drupal plugin API.

The module provides two providers:

• The BANO (Base d'Adresse Nationale Ouverte) French geolocation provider for the 1.0.x version.

  You can see documentation for more explanations on the API.

• The IGN (Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière (IGN) French geolocation provider for the 2.0.x version.

  You can see the details.

• The Nominatim provider allowing to search OSM data by name and address and to generate potential addresses from an OSM point.

  You can see documentation for more explanations on the API

A simple module for a simple purpose to avoid the heavier modules.
