As the Geo module is predominantly an API, you probably want to download additional modules for more usable and attractive input and output of your Geo data. The following modules are designed to work with Geo:

• The Gmap Geo module provides CCK input widgets and output formatters for fields provided by the Geo Field module.
• Geocode allows you to derive geospatial information for Geo Field module storage from other sources. For example, you can gather GPX track data from a file field, EXIF coordinates from Image Fields, or geocode a postal address.
• The Geo GUI module provides a click and drawing interface to gather point, line and polygon information from an openlayers interface.

The Geocode module gets GIS data from other sources

• provides an API for discovering GIS data from multiple sources
• provides a CCK widget for Geo fields
• examples:
  • take an address and send it to 3rd party service to get GIS data
  • take an image and extract any GIS data from exif
  • take a track file and extract the points from it
  • extract GIS data from a .gpx file
