    Directory listings - multiple location entries per page
     
    As things stand, an individual product/hotel/house or listing in a directory based .tel, has it's own set of contact information data, eg phone, email, location etc

    When grouped, (say for speed dialing, at a glimpse) a single page can display many individual phone numbers, one after the other, in a -z fashion. Very handy, very quick to dial one simple easy number per hotel/house

    The same cannot be done for locations. That is, "location" is not offered as a "contact information" data type.

    Q. So how can a directory based .tel, group together on a single a-z styled page, many hotels/house locations one after the other? That is to quickly see by toggling a "show/hide" map, for each entry in the list? Possibly a 3rd party tool can add multiple location data records??

    Thanks

    Boracay,

    The idea behind the location is that your .tel shows you where you are, and you can only be in one place at a time - hence one location per sub-domain. There are technical limitations as well to this problem, because the LOC format doesn't allow storing labels, only coordinates, so you will end up with an unordered list of maps, with no way to distinguish which is which. We are investigating ways to overcome this limitation, but it's a long-term project. 

    For multiple locations, please use the Address keywords, the Note field for an ordered list, create sub-domains per location, or add web links to Google Maps showing individual locations.
