I've tried submitting this issue to the appropriate Carto module section, but just couldn't get it up, due to unexplicable Validation problems.
I'm totally new to Drupal and just slightly more proficient in the WebGIS area, having just been able to implement a small site running on top of Mapserver, which employs javascript-enabled libraries to display maps and navigate through them.
