I'm reading about Location, but how Views can help me? What's your idea?<br>

Building website with POI (Points of Interests)<br>
</font><br>
Hi,<br>
I'm building a website about Route 66, for my own needs. Probably will <br>
not go public.<br>
<br>
I made page (as in content type) for each State (8) Route 66 going <br>
through. These pages will probably not have any content. More for Menu <br>
purpose only.<br>
Similar, I plan to make a page (content type) for each city. Menu links
<br>
of these pages are actually sub-primary menu links:<br>
<br>
Primary menu:<br>
* Illinois<br>
> Chicago<br>
> Cicero<br>
> Joliet<br>
> ...<br>
* Missouri<br>
> St. Louis<br>
> Springfield<br>
> ...<br>
<br>
City pages will probably not have any content either.<br>
<br>
Now comes the pain: I have to start building POI (Points Of Interests).
<br>
POI has to have Name, Address, City, State, Description. Geo
Coordinates <br>
(Longitude & Latitude) - if known. I was thinking to create a
content <br>
type for each city and that way "group" POIs, but something's tellig me
<br>
it's not good idea.<br>
I know it's possible to create web form (I know there is module for <br>
webform) to enter POI but never used it and I'm not quite sure how can
I <br>
group these entries by city?<br>
<br>
Also, I have to be able create something like Photo album about each
POI <br>
to add any picture I found interesting about this POI (download fro <br>
Internet and upload to my Drupal site) and comment the picture. I need <br>
ability to "update" POI with new information (text) but it could be as
<br>
a Comment on POI.<br>
<br>
I'm new in Drupal and I need help what directions I have to take? Which
<br>
modules I need to use here...<br>
Any help appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Afan<br>
<br>
