I thought I'd share this tip for getting better accuracy out of the Netism module if you're doing anything with GeoIP Targeting (visitor location). For example, if doing something like "Locate Dealers Near You" or something, this will provide much better accuracy on the location of *you*. 

The Netism module uses the GeoLiteCity MaxMind database for doing the location lookups, which is a free database that gives a limited degree of accuracy.

If you need greater accuracy, MaxMind has different types of databases that can be puchased, and rise in cost as the location detail accuracy increases. In my case, I purchased a GeoIPCity database, which matched what I was looking for in accuracy.

Once purcgased, the database was simply renamed as "GeoLiteCity.dat" and copied (overwrote) the existing dat file in /DesktopModules/NetismMapExt.

Hi Eric,

My map popups are showing behind the module - I added this to NetMapExt.css but for some reason it fixes it in Chrome but not in IE:

Rodney,
In IE it appears that another style sheet from virtualearth.net is loaded, and that it overrides the .ero z-index mentioned above. So we need to be more explicit with our definition to prevent that. Try this instead:

div.ero-leftBeak.ero { z-index:1000 !important; }

On the search box text suggest, try adding this to the same style sheet:

.ac_results { z-index:1100; }
