Visitor Info Module Demo

The page you are looking at is the newest implementation of the Visitor Info module (6.x-2.0). I have rewritten this module to take advantage of the GeoIP API module and the free MaxMind database to perform the geographical lookups. I have also stripped out the Google Mapping code and removed the default pages and map blocks. Visitor Info is now much better integrated with the Views module which means that you can customize what data is shown and how it is displayed.

On this page you see two maps. They are simply two views of the same data, but displayed using different mapping solutions. The first map uses Visitor Info data displayed on a Google Map provided by the GMap module. The second map uses the same data, but is displayed using the OpenLayers module.

The older version of Visitor Info (before 6.x-2.0) relied upon IPInfoDB.com to provide the geolocation services to get information about visitors. It has been pointed out to me that for smaller sites, that version was just fine, perhaps Views and GMap or OpenLayers would be a bit overkill. I agree and will do my best to continue to maintain the 6.x-1.x branch for that reason.
