Sourcing data

    Hi. 2 questions before I purchase the full package. I am planning on creating a directory for 3 towns in the Dominican Republic. It seems that Google maps Geo info is essential but here it is very inaccurate and on another site I have to manually add Long & Lat data. Is this going to create a problem?

    Second question is does the package include any data relating to the towns sourced from any existing directories or does it all have to be added manually? In other words will I start with a blank directory and have to add every business, hotel etc. individually?

    Any advice on the above would be very helpful.

    Thanks

    Hi Adrian,

    We have setting to disable the auto fill of most fields from Google, you could manually setup the regions and city names and let users just select them from a dropdown, and then they could just drag the marker to set the lat/lon.

    We have standard dummy data you can install, this is not related to a certain town but will randomly generate an address in your default location. You will have to manually add your own local businesses, or you can bulk add via CSV or let users add their own business.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
