Usage
Features
- Import from and export map locations to CSV (comma-seperated value) file.
- The G2 edition now features an audit trail (a record of all of the your imports), a stored record of your import files, the ability to perform a rollback (undo) of past imports if needed
- Has the ability to bypass geocoding if importing coordinates -- makes for quicker imports if coordinates are already known
- Has an import status bar (nice for longer imports).
- Like the original, you still can conveniently upload a CSV file with columns in any order. Then, you can associate the proper columns to your Store Locator fields during the import process.
- Works with importing / exporting data from custom fields created that you may have created with the Custom Field Manager or by other addons
