ABOUT
-------------------

Nice Map is a WMS[1] client for Drupal. Using this module you can display
content on a map generated by a WMS server like mapserver[2] or mapnik[3].

This module doesn't require the views module but is most easily used as a views
style plugin.

INSTALL
-------------------

Install this module in the usual manner; put it in the modules directory and
enable it at admin/build/modules. Once enabled goto admin/settings/nicemap, to
use a WMS server select "WMS server" from the drop down and hit submit. Then
enter the URL for the WMS server. Some public ones are listed in the "WMS
Servers" section of this document. Hit submit again. If your site was able to

offers.
