Templates are not available
Templates are not available for the current version but there are some for the new version that I've been working on. To import data you will need to use a CSV file which is nothing more than an excel or calc spreadsheet that is saved as a CSV file. Each location will need a country, name, and a category in order for it to work properly so you will need to make sure those fields are filled in with something. After you do the import, you can 'geocode' those addresses simply by going to the search page. It will take a while for the search page to show because it's contacting the google/yahoo geocoders to do its work. Depending upon how many you have, you may have to reload the search page a couple times. Generally if you have 100 or fewer it'll get them all in the first run. You will use phpMyAdmin to do the importing and you can find LOTS of resources on phpMyAdmin about importing CSV files on googlie.

Yea that 'lag' is actually a
Yea that 'lag' is actually a good thing. It means the app is trying to geocode the locations that dont yet have lon/lat coordinates. If it doesnt go away after a day or so, then you will need to look at the locations that dont have coordinates and find out why it cant geocode those locations.
ok got it working the error was addresses it could not locate.
what i want to do is make it look like the rest of my site.
