How to Aggregate My RSS Maps Into Drupal
Drupal, the open-source content management system, includes a feed aggregator by default; however, the module is not activated. Once you activate the default core aggregator, you can create feeds to import based on RSS feeds. You can then display the latest entries from the feed on your site. If you use a map service that supports RSS publishing, you can aggregate your map RSS feed into Drupal.
