Doyle ITS Zero-In Store Locator Module for DotNetNuke

Doyle ITS Zero-In Store Locator is the premier mapping, store locator, and store directory module in the DotNetNuke module marketplace! It gives you the ability to list your store-front or restaurant locations for your customers, and allows those customers to search for the nearest location, functionality that is vital to any business that wishes to increase customer traffic! Zero-In utilizes the Google or Yahoo! geocoding services - services which are free to anyone, once you register for a key. These same services are used to provide map images embedded on your website.

Doyle ITS Zero-In comes with two modules, both installed when you add Zero-In to a page. The first is the Location Explorer, which acts as a store or restaurant directory. Optionally, use categories to logically divide your locations - these can be regions, location types or services, or any division which makes sense to your organization. Locations and categories can be "published" as needed, giving you a fine degree of control.

The second module is the Location Finder, a customizable store or restaurant locator. This module depends on the Location Explorer, and will find the closest published location to your customer's search criteria. The customizations include whether to show street address, city, state/province/region, postal code, country, and even the number of results returned and the search radius!
