GMaps is a Joomla component extension (plugin and other mapping extensions are available offered as SUBSCRIPTIONWARE) that enables you to build and manage map data from the backend admistration panels with a user-friendly interface. You can easily create markers, maps and then add those markers to each individual map. The maps can be rendered via a basic front-end interface. Key features include: - Database driven map data - Request for driving directions to the marker directly from the information popup window - Back-end adminstration pages to build and maintain individual maps - Ability to define a marker and its attributes (i.e. title, latitude, longitude, description and icon) - Map specific properties (i.e. height, width, zoom level, zoom type, maptype, etc.) - Ability to create unlimited maps and markers - Define specific icons per marker (limited list is provided) - Associate maps to other maps (markers from one map are automatically rendered on the other) - Front-end component that enables the user to list and view all of the available maps defined - Define your own icons to be used in generating the maps - Supports images within the markers pop-up window! IMPORTANT NOTE: Registration is NOT required to download the component but is required to post on the forums. Paid support is available. Some additional extensions, including a PRO version with additional features, are offered to subscribers only including the PLUGIN/MAMBOT that may be mentioned in the any review that appears on this site.
