I need a data entry module

Ok, overlooked those somehow. 

Question:  How would the entries from those modules be associated with a content page entry?  How will the admin enter a description in the content page, enter an address in the google maps module and have the front-end search associate the two?  This is why I wanted to be able to do all of the above from the content page creation screen.

Also, the google maps module looks too limited.  You can create a map, but not create 100 coordinates for the map. 

I'm thinking it would be easier to build the map on the front end, which I've done many times, and just feed it info from the database.  No reason to control the actual map from the backend............just the information that feeds it.

Tried installing the company directory module.

ERROR: The CGExtensions module could not be found.

I successfully put something like this into the CompanyDirectory summary template

{SimpleGoogleMap map='whatever' addr=$entry->address}

where $entry->address is one of the fields from the company directory module.

The GoogleMaps module (not SimpleGoogleMap) allows you to put in as many markers as you like and has a description field for each entry.

Give it a try.

Ah.  I installed the SimpleGoogleMap module, as you guessed.  The GoogleMaps cannot be found in Module Manager.
