excellent extension



Posted on 03 January 2011
Thanks Daniel for so amazing tool!

A great extension and what a wonderful support from Daniel. Thanks for all your efforts.
Exactly what my site needs. I have tried other similar modules and Hotspots really hits the right spot! I am a noobie and I have a website with a large membership base tha I want to display graphically as well as manage graphically categories for suppliers and other related company's. I found that Hotspots was downloaded and setup in a matter of minutes. Configuring the module was surprisingly easy with helpful Balloon tips to advise on some of the more trickier decisions. Hotspots is the current leader in this area in my humble opinion.

Nice work

Google maps as we all know are almost a must have for all the websites. I recently got a combo subscription of compojoom and I was really pleased with what this offers. I was initially going to go with the standard 'googlemaps' plugin but then since I wanted something for my JomSocial website, I decided to go in with this on - wise decision i would say



Good work Daniel
This is just what the doctor ordered, was looking for a component just like this. I had some issues on my site, but support was 10/10 and my issues was sorted out asap. Highly recommended.

Awesome Component!

I'm loving this component and the support I'm receiving. It's honestly what I needed for my project (and it wasn't a simple one), it's very flexible and customizable. I really recommend it for any project involving geo-localization. Developers are very helpful and provide a very fast support. Amazing.



Thanks Daniel!

Its a must!



Posted on 12 November 2010
This component is a must! The idea of the component is very modern and can offer you exactly what you need.



Very strong back-end with lots of options for choosing the right position and setup. Easy to install and to customize as well! If anything goes wrong - the creator is 24/7 and always ready with explanations :) looking forward to see his future ideas about this component!



Awesome component and I recommend to everyone! Remember, its beta and its still on its way to become perfect!



Thanks Dan,

10/10!
Its not often you get to see a development build from beta that is as strong as this! The developers are super helpful and the community whilst small in comparison to say sigsui / community builder etc is a positive force! A lovely example of how the community comes together! Top effort!

Great component!



Posted on 27 October 2010
I really like it, flexible configuration, nice implementation and easy to use tool! I was share my ideas about new options at forum of the compojoom guys, but it's just a dreams :) in this particual case I can say that this tool worth every cent! I'm sure that you love it exactly as I do!

Great addition



Posted on 01 October 2010
I have seen this component a few times, but never really understood its potential.

However, I took the plunge and bought it.

It was dead easy to install, straight from the box.

I used the same Google Maps Key that I have for other map functions, and voila, it worked.



For me, this component is a great addition to the many other features of my site, and Users can easily add their own spots for everyone else to see.



Being a non-programmer however, I can sometimes do stupid things... and in my case it was making this available to Registered Users, to stop idiots adding weird things.

The response time from Compojoom was inside 5 minutes! Amazing, as always from the Compojoom team, THANKS!



PS, easy to customize too!
this is great map component, very flexible implementation, and show great potential development in the near future. This is by far the most polish and user friendly map component I've ever tried, and also have important feature that i need and i can't find on the other map component out there.



Developer also give great concert and support toward their customer. Overall great component and support. Recommended.
