I have a map that has too many pins to reasonably input by hand, and I'm curious about how to add the locations from a data source. The app is hosted through BT and I would like to be able to load the pins in once and have the data available within the app online and offline instead of having to pull the data from a URL each time. While all your feedback is appreciated, in order for me to be able to follow your advice please describe the process in the most basic/step-based way. Thank you! Title Comments Greetings.

Point that to a JSON Data file containing the map points. Try it with just a few map points to make sure you have the correct syntax. -- Niraj Comments On the control panel, go into the configuration for the Maps plugin. Look for Data URL field.
