[support] Help in using Location module

[daniel bareket]

Hi Joel,
First- thank you!

So if I undestand you correctly, I have one type that contain just the
location and the title, and another which is my main type that
contains all the information needed as well as a reference to the
first type.
But - I want every user to have its own locations list. So should I
allow them to make a list of nodes of first content type?

Then you can get all the location info you want with no tweaking/programming. Plus, you can manage the locations they can choose easily. You could use taxonomy to sort them, if you wish, or even use access controls to limit them by role.
