 I am very impressed with Hotspot, and that is exactly what I need for my website, but I need help understanding couple of things.
1. I want to have sub categories under a parent category example;
Main Category: USA
Sub Category: Shop, Hotel, Restaurant

Main Category: UK
Sub Category: Shop, Hotel, Restaurant

Main Category: Ghana
Sub Category: Shop, Hotel, Restaurant

Main Category: South Africa
Sub Category: Shop, Hotel, Restaurant


So now you understand what I am trying to do, My project is to showcase African businesses in Africa and around the world, and the issue is Africa has about 54 countries and want to make it as easy as possible to help users get to where they want to go without browsing through lot of data.
For instance if someone from Ghana goes to the site, and wants to search for a restaurant in Ghana, or a Ghanaian(person from Ghana) restaurant in UK, they can just enter Ghana and it will populate all sub categories link to Ghana, and if they choose Restaurant under Ghana, it will show all listed restaurant, whether in Ghana, African or around the world.
So in a nutshell, if a user goes to the site and want a hotel in Ghana or a Ghanaian hotel in Paris, by selecting Ghana - Hotel, the query will show all hotels link to Ghana(whether in Ghana or around the world).
I hope Hotspot can do this or there is a way to make this happen because I think hotspot is WHAT I NEED for my website. http://www.africafyi.com
Hope you can help(guide) me in my situation

*Another issue is I imported some sobi2 data and it imported ok but it is not showing on the map*
