Mapping / GIS

Geocoder

Convert text in fields into WKT geographical information.

This module will geocode just about anything you throw at it including addresses, GPX files, geo-tagged images, and KML files.

One use is to have a field that accepts KML data (which you can copy-and-paste to and from Google Earth), which Geocoder then converts into WKT format to use in a Geofield, and then OpenLayers maps.

Geofield

Storage field for geographical data in Drupal 7 entities.

GeoPHP

Provides integration with the geoPHP library: https://github.com/phayes/geoPHP

OpenLayers

A very powerful set of tools to display OpenLayers maps with data overlays in Drupal.

Views

Yup, this module is extremely useful, and is used on all my Drupal sites. There's a movement to include Views into Drupal Core, just like CCK has become fields in core.
