Clicky... then click on edit if you wish. There's a Regions and a Locations data module.

The generic 'common data' can lookup any values from any other values, and can see from that demo that the Location Name and Region Name could be used to get the coords automatically in Map in the existing switches as a default, where these two values are already in all of their infoboxes basically.

Can see the basic a to z pieces coming together. With any type of coords the map could be taught to place them correctly. With either an extracted true set of coords or the fan ones from the map site (which is what's in the test), you can let the DB recall them rather than Mechemik trying to hand place them all which would be maddening.

The CommonData lookup could be made automatic in the Map templates that need coords, inside the existing switches with one short call as default, or overridden, without mucking up Map which needs to stay independent.
