Is this a manual process of collectiong the car dealership addresses? I can't wrap my head around this. Thanks!!

However you supply that data is up to you. Do you want to individually enter locations into the control panel? Do you already have a properly formatted JSON file with location items in it? Do you have a ,php file that can query a database and create a JSON file? Any of these options would work. Comments The map screen is generated with JSON data.

Essentially I would like to list all store types, lets pic McDonalds in the USA. I think it would be crazy for me to seek out all of those addresses and them into a format like you mentioned. I hope this is coming across clearly. Comments Thanks, I don't have any of the data, but I was hoping there was a way to link into the google maps API and call the data they have on their maps.

I have 300+ locations in NJ I would like to map along with even more for ever other state in the USA. Do I need to add each one by hand in the JSON txt file or is there a way to call the existing data in google maps? Thanks for the help! Comments I'm still stuggling on this issue.
