One of my sites needs to offer a list of groups across the country and globe that can be input and then, preferably, shown on a map.
There would be thousands of groups, so input would need to be easy. It would be extremely helpful to have them on a map like Google maps overlays.
Is there a RW solution for this, or can someone point me in a possible direction to solve this? This would be the first time I have done anything like this.
NeilUK, I had looked at Points 2 and HotSpotPro but I don’t think they scale well for thousands of points. They are both great stacks though.
Jannis, I did look at Open Street Maps a little while ago (fantastic idea for RW!). I don’t remember seeing Mapbox, but looked into it to see if it might work. I think it would probably do the job, but I may overrun the free version quickly and the next step up is expensive for this site. I am keeping the Open Street Maps stack in mind for another project I may be doing shortly.
I think I may just go with a Google Maps overlay. I found out I can import a spreadsheet into the overlay and that may be the best approach as I had thought I needed to type into Google Maps directly.
I really appreciate the help on this though. Hopefully Google Maps works for what I need.
