This module allows you to output geospatial data from your Drupal site as GeoJSON. You can create views that display content with location data, and then configure a GeoJSON feed format to generate this data for use with mapping tools.
Views GeoJSON is a Views plugin for outputting geospatial data as GeoJSON, a JSON-based text format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures.
Features
- Generates GeoJSON data feeds from content using Views.
- Accepts data in latitude/longitude, Geofield, or WKT formats.
- Works with OpenLayers and Leaflet modules.
- Accepts a bounding-box argument to filter points by those within given coordinates.
Basic usage:
- Create a View ("Show: Content") that includes geospatial data in its fields
- Add a Display to the View with Format: GeoJSON Feed
- Add fields to the Display that include lat/lon, Geofield, Geolocation, or WKT data
- Set the Display's Format to GeoJSON
- Set those fields as the "Map Data Sources" under "Format > Settings"
The view's output will be textual JSON, including data as GeoJSON Features wrapped in a FeatureCollection.

Origins
This module was born from a patch by tmcw to the OpenLayers module: Implement GeoJSON output as a standard, and a good deal of the original Drupal 7 version was modeled after the Views Datasource module.
