Example:
Description - dealers
Detail - All motorcycle dealers and shops
Coordinates - 37.339386,-121.894956
Zoom - 6
Setup step 4:
Create a forum where you will have threads of a certain type. For example you would have a Motorcycle dealers forum. Each thread will represent a dealer which has information about that particular dealer.
Navigate to a thread and click the 'Show map data' link. Enter the description, for example 'dealer' and the map coordinates for this dealer. Each thread can have one or more descriptions, that way one map can show all the locations and another map can show jfor example only Honda dealers.
How to use:
Just add 'showmap' to your forum URL. Note a query string is required, this will be any of the 'description' fields entered in step 3. So for example you would add showmap?id=dealer to your forum URL.
You can create a Tab and use the link described above. Visitors will be able to click for example 'Dealer locations' to see on a map the locations of all the dealers on your forum.
