I will give an introduction to Vancouver’s Open Data initiative, show you how to simply get data on a Google map in less than 10 minutes, and then show you how to make your map beautiful with more advanced mapping techniques.
The City of Vancouver Open Data Catalogue (http://data.vancouver.ca/) is a rich resource for information about our city. Everyone has free access to the data and Drupal makes it easy to take advantage of it in new and interesting ways. I will show you how to get going quickly with the GMap and Views modules, and then show you how to make your maps better with custom map behaviour and custom tiles (using the OpenLayers and Mapbox modules).
