Brad, I created a .csv dump from the WISPA billing server and then geocoded the data to create the map. If the information is wrong in the billing server then it is wrong on the map. That is why I am encouraging everyone to check it and send me corrections. I don't want to make changes myself and then have to do it again when the member emails me with correct information.
Importing the membership list was much more efficient than trying to convince everyone to put their own icon on the map. This way, there is at least some consistency in the data for each WISP.
