Locations Module

Locations Module Overview

The locations module allows you to put a map of locations including driving directions on your website. Location can be any related entity such as branch offices, outlets, resellers, partners, suppliers or anything related to your website. The database of locations can be segmented by location type allowing you to have multiple maps of location types or different icons for say sales and service centres. Locations can be managed via a drag-and-drop interface to allow for precise positioning of any location.
