Installation

- Run the data setup routine in the Geolocator component
As test if the setup was successful, you may create a calculation rule or shipment, which should be only valid for you own country. Then browse the store with a fresh session and check if the rule/shipmentmethod is activated.
Custom country to currency mapping
Use for example US~USD;CA~CAD;AU~AUD to set for USA the USD and for Canada the CAD and for Australia the AUD. It just uses the country 2 code with the currency 3 code.
