Venues showing on maps not just volunteers?

Hi, I'm new to this and as well as looking at installing nationbuilder for my own nation (in my microbiz) I'm also looking at its suitability for a nonprofit client. The client runs a scheme where they accredit cafes and venues to be breastfeeding friendly, so the venues themselves need to show up in the database and on maps as accredited venues. Does the DB allow for a 'place/venue' entry not just a person/supporter?

Many thanks

You can use NationBuilder's event and calendar pages to create this type of map. The one downside is that a time and date for an event (venue) must be established and this information will display on the calendar's embedded map when you click on the event/venue's location pin.

Another solution would be to use a custom google map embed. Here is a great blog post about how they work: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/map-making-so-easy-caveman-could-do-it.html

Google maps are easy to embed using our embed.ly integration, so all you need is to paste a link to a map and it will embed into any NationBuilder page.
