These modules can also be added to any of the sidebar areas as widgets, giving you lots of flexibility when building your homepage and other custom pages.

And the most important thing, a feature no directory site should miss: map settings. An impressive full width map is supported for you to locate all listings as well as support the search system. Of course, you can set up the default location using the geo-location feature. It will then zoom to that location whenever you use the site.
