Look at the Location and Views modules. This may take care of most, if not all, your issues. --ross

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