You got it spot on. Yes, a marker and insert the information to the marker description.

Ideally the user should enter all their info in a form, including the location (street address, complete with postal code, street number, etc). It should not use the GetCurrentLocation.

There may be different category of markers. For instance Public or Private entries. By private is a person entering their own location. Ideally it should be required to have an account, and even more ideally the map should not show description to users who are not logged in – only the marker. Public is an entery where anyone can post the location of any business and should be visible to guests as well as those that are logged in. Ofcourse ideal is not the same as a “must have”.

Here are som examples of different types of locations (categories)
-Community member (private)
-Local business (public):
–Farm that offer “pick your own”
–Farm open for visits and with livestock
–Organisation (i.e. the local beekeeper organization)
–Other POI

There is much else to be desired in my scope. What I am hoping for is that there is some out of the box plugin, or combination of plugins, that could be used, without too much coding – hopefully nothing but configuration.

One of the other things that is desired is to present all the input in a web page (table), complete with filters and sorting features. For instance being able to filter by region and/or municipality, location type, services offerred, types of animals on the farm, types of vegetables/fruit/berries, and so on. The query would return a list of locations, complete with all contact details, descriptions, uploaded image, list of vegetables/and or animals (complete with icons), etc. This would ofcourse require an even more extensive form and a much more complex solution. If the community only gets a simple map in the first version, it will make a big difference.

I have more time than money, but I am not broke…
