It is also possible to convert to a shp file or other formats. It is then easy to define a page using services such as Mapbox or or API's such as Openlayers or LeafLet.<br><br>For community database, there may be many solutions more or less complex to store, manage and read the data. I am not an expert at these, but I have once developed one simple solution that works for managing collectively a list of POI's. Data was stored in a Google Doc Spreadsheet and converted to be read by map API's.<br> <br><div><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(0, 0, 191);font-weight:bold;">Pierre <br></span><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica,
