Just few years ago Google Maps was the only option to go for. A big disadvantage is that a lot of 'smart' things happens on Google's side. Therefore it was difficult to really engage location information about users and content on your Drupal site.
Nowdays (2013) things has changed. You can do all your location thingies in and with Drupal and OpenSource. In this (series of) post(s) I'll try to inform you about my ride through Drupal mapping.

Thomas Svenson wrote a series of blogposts about Drupal website building: Un(b)locking the Drupal Learning Curve. He explains challenges people and organizations encounter while learning and adopting Drupal.
What I like is his explanation of roles involved in web development. He maps these roles on a project-timeline. He points out that the site builder role is the central role in the team.

Taxonomy CSV Import Export (taxonomy_csv) for Drupal 7 is a great module to save a lot of time when creating your new website. It lets you import vocabularies.
Going to summarize howto import a hierarchical taxonomy with its fields. It's a bit obscure and you need configuration on import. I cannot solve importing a hierarchy and descriptions in one step. But I can import a hierarchy or terms with fields. So you can do it in 2 steps! Follow me.

With Views promoted to Drupal 8 core, the popular open source cms is getting more and more promissing. Last week Drupal8 project lead Dries Buytaert promoted Drupal's most installed module (70%) to core.
