Looks great! Follow up question...Is it possible to stick a pin in just the center of a zip code without a full address? Kind of a generalized location?

Will do. Having a few other issues. When I get those straightened out it may solve this one. If not I'll start a new thread.

<p>I've used expression engine but not Craft. I am looking for a CMS more flexible than WordPress. I need to have admins enter location or addresses of meetings and then allow site users search for locations close to them or close to a specific address. Part of the use case is that meeting locations would be posted if the meeting is open or just a contact if the meeting is closed.</p>

<p>Would Craft be a good CMS for this? What about the geo stuff?</p>
