provider".

agree
Scott.. that makes sense.. i think what we will do is have a button next
to the CITY/ZIP filters that say, "SHOW SURROUNDING Wireless Internet Service
Providers"
that will make sure the map is more useful... thoughts?
John, can we do this???

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. > > Scott Reed > Owner >

Entering my sites is NOT awkward for me, and I do not mind the proceedure.
I am a technical person, intuitive to figure it out, and worth my time to
enter once, regardless if awkward, for the advantage of many to open
easilly. > > > > My 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. > >

Tom.. awkward is the right word.. and i do agree.. the good news is that
while its not ideal for you to enter your points yet (getting better)
your potential clients will have a pretty simple time of it.. but.. .i'm
still working on it.. > > > > On 8/15/05, Tom DeReggi

up to 100 sites in the area on the full zoom out national view. If you
click on ome of them then when you zoom in 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.
