Hi,

I'm curious to know if using the Location module via CCK means the location data is stored separately from using the Location module by location enabling a content type ?

For example, if I have one content type that is location enabled and another content type that uses a location CCK field will the locations be available to each other to choose from.
Alternatively, if I wanted to export the location data from my system, would dumping the location tables be enough.

Thanks.

It saves the lid in CCK, and it saves the actual data in {location} and links back to the cck field by adding an instance in {location_instance} with genid set to "cck:fieldname:vid". (Even though the lid is saved in CCK, there still needs to be an instance so that reference counting continues to work.)

Which option uses more resources?

CCK location

or

Node location?

Thank you
