Setup Vantage
When I first read a review on Vantage I was very excited because it sound just like what I was looking for. I had tried GeoTheme, GeoPlace and most recently, City Guide with success but not close to what I had in mind. When I finished the review about Vantage I should have asked some important questions but the excitement was to much and I purchased the theme. Well I have discovered I diffidently got the cart ahead of the horse so I need to set back and ask a few questions. So first a short description of what I want to accomplish.
The website is Iowa History Net and my goal is to use a location based theme to list Iowa's Historical Markers and Sites. I want a site that people can look a specific geographical area of the state and see what historical markers, sites, etc... are in that are. I want them to be able to see a map and get directions. The page will have both pictures and a description on it, along with a Map and a button that will take them back to the original articles page. I want the experience to be as seamless as possible.
The Problem is I'm not sure how to do a few things such as using a google map to show individual markers as well as a cluster of markers. City Guide was close but it fell short in to many areas. I'm hoping, after spending $99, I can get some help modifying Vantage so it will become a premier travel guide. I hope all of this makes sense but if it doesn't let me know what I need to better explain and I will do my best. I really appreciate the help. Thank you.
