On behalf and in cooperation with Sixeleven - Ideas and Tools to Communicate - Web & Communication Agency based in Turin (Italy), developing a Google Map Mashup that lets you investigate the weather Quality targets for each month of the year.

Per conto ed in collaborazione con Sixeleven - Ideas and Tools to Comunicate, Agenzia di comunicazione e sviluppo web di Torino, lo sviluppo di un Google Map Mashup avanzato che consente di indagare le condizioni meteo delle destinazioni Quality Mare per ogni mese dell’anno.

Within the platform Drupal 7, at the base of the entire web site, the Google Maps Api (Application Programming Interface) have been exploited, scripted and customized accordingly in terms of data representation and interaction with the user.

Special attention has been put both to technical operation and graphic and communicative aspects of the plugin, to "tell" the climate of different destinations, also through ancillary libraries that have made it possible to personalize the markers and related icons and labels.

Using advanced "clustering" functions, it has been possible to make the map better readable at different zoom levels: it can be initially displayed a "monoclima" macro-related area of interest of the user (e.g.: Caribbean Sea and South America, the far East or Pacific Ocean, etc.) and then to increase the informative notes for individual locations and tourist facilities offered by the tour operator.

The CMS (Content management System) logic of Drupal, allows the customer (Quality Group in this case) to manage their existing content and add new ones, in total autonomy.

In addition, by implementing scripts and automated geocoding capabilities, Quality destionations, and weather data associated with them, are immediately added on the map, thus translated into geo-graphic information, easily accessible by customers, according to the best Google Maps interactivity.
