Some are typists, some are clickers. Clickers don't type. Not too hard to click on a state, click on a city and be close to home. Just need to be able to see the WISPs that are in town.
I realize that you have drop downs for the cities, but as someone mentioned before, if I list my WISP as Richmond, then people in Webster, Williamsburg, Fountain City, Whitewater, Middlebourogh, Boston, Centerville, Mineral Springs, Cambridge City, Penville, Milton, Hagerstown, Greensfork, ... may not find me. And that is in a 10 to 15 mile circle. If they click on their town and get a 25 mile map with markers, they found me. If they put in their own zip, they may not find me.

Which is what my original
post was about as well. I do not have a problem with how to enter, though
I hope I can edit soon. It is a pain for the potential customer. I
always tell the programmers that have worked for me, "I do not care how
hard it is for you, it MUST be easy for the user". Same here, doesn't
have to be super easy for me to get my sites listed, but the potential customer
should not have to work to find me.

complaint, was for prospects to find my info after it was entered, was awkward
for them. If it is awkward for the porspect, they won't spend the time to
locate all the possible cell site locations available to them. My
concern is strictly about improving the ease and accuracy for the prospect to
find the data on the map. That is where improvements are needed
most.

it stays homed in on the region. But then none of the other points show up on
the maps, until you unclick on the first point. Its still awkward.

while it DOES remove that extra filter step... is that XML lookups take some
time.. and if you click the wrong state.. it'll take 10 secs to get back to the
state you want...

Here is your next
enhancement. I am a customer looking for service. I go to the site,
click WISP (I know what I want) and click on my state. I would want to see some
indication there are providers there. Next click, markers, all the way in
to the one I want.
