 Plugin (Mambot) for displaying one or more Google Maps within content-items, modules or components of Joomla 1.0.x or 1.5.x.
Version 2.11 is available and added Googlebar, Local Search, Panoramio, Adsmanager, Traffic Layer, Google Earth maptype, new parameters for lightbox, center lat/lon, scale, better support maps.google.com and specially a new render option for KML with Sidebar!
Look at the demo site first for documentation. If you've problems please do the checklist on the demosite. If this doesn't help or you have questions or new wishes please send me an email.
Usage:
{mosmap width='500'|height='400'|lat='52.052312'|lon='4.447141'|zoom='3'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Satellite'| showMaptype='1'|overview='0'|text='sv DWO'|lang=''}
(remove returns or < br /> when you copy this example)
You can change one of the parameters:
width, height You must put the units behind the number like 100% or 400px to whatever you want although if its too small, you won't see very much.
text is for the marker, that will show on the map with a balloon. If you don't want to see the text, just set text=" and it will not display, the text is the data displayed above the location pin. Usually it would be used to display an address or hyperlink. A hyperlink is possible use the format: linkName. Don't use (double) quotes!
tooltip is for the marker to have a tooltip when the mouse is on the marker (don't use HTML)
address is for a address to search for the coordinates (lon/lat has to be empty)
kml for is for the url of a kml-file reachable on the internet.
and many more. Have a look at the demo site for all parameters.
Have fun

| Awesome!!!! For non-coders - this is the one by j0s3, May 24, 2008 |

I'm new-ish to joomla and I don't code much.
I used a different google maps component in the past, but it just stopped working with joomla 1.5 - and the support around that product just seemed to cease altogether.
I came across this plug in and I thought at first it would be a little complicated.
I was wrong :)
This is a fantastic plug in - and incredibly easy to use (you just need to spend the 2 or 3 minutes it will take you to read the paragraph on how to install).
I had a small issue which was down to my template (not the plug in) and the plug in's creator mailed me back - on a weekend - literally within the hour.
Best of all, his simple 5 word instruction solved the issue!
This plug in is robust, well designed and looks great. Also very tweakable with all the options in the parameters section!
Many thanks

| Excellent support and product by slcm, May 21, 2008 |

Mike created an excellent product that is easy to install and work with. Mike himself is incredibly nice and was quick to help me with an issue that ended up being unrelated to Googlemaps. 5 stars!

| Perfect, by Tschortscho, May 20, 2008 |

Works nearly perfectly.
Everything is perfect. Except one aspect: I cannot use KMZ files instead of KML. (Although, the google Maps API support KMZ files.)
This would be a nice improvement.
Thanks Owner's reply: KMZ files can be used with the same parameter kml='..'

I run a website for a group of associated organizations and I found this plugin invaluable for creating location maps for each organization. With the latest version maps can also be added to content in modules: meaning that in our events calendar, we can also include maps.
Mike is prompt to respond to queries.
All in all an excellent product, and one which I would heartily recommend to every developer!

| Great plugin, quick response to questions by ermah, April 21, 2008 |

Just installed the latest version of the plugin on my Joomla 1.5 site. The installation and configuration was very straightforward. When I wrote to Mike asking for help about how to adjust the zoom, he replied in about 15 minutes! Now, that's service!
Just for everyone's info, he said he made a change in version 2.11a so the zoomlevel is following Google's setting convention instead. You have to do 19-old zoomlevel = new zoomlevel.
Overall, a great plugin!

| Great Extension - Great Support by hapless, April 20, 2008 |

this extension is fantastic and the support is the best so far. Mike has been a great help in deploying this the way I want it to. Highly recommend this extension. Easy to administer - works great and love the easy lightbox setup.
Author is even contemplating some ammendments which would be nice in the next release
Thanks Mike!!

I downloaded the plugin and installed with no problems.
When in my site I didn't see things correctly, Mike pointed me to a problem with my template in less than an hour.
I really recommend this plugin for the great job of his author and his great support.
Congratulations Mike!

| excellent support by 12345caravan, April 19, 2008 |

This one is highly recommended.
Installing and setup was very easy.
Only thing was that the map did't work in IE7...
Turned out to be a problem in my template!
Mike solved it for me, so his support is excellent.
Very fast reply on my emails,
Mike: well done!

| Great idea, support and implementation by Davesp, April 9, 2008 |
|
Mike gave me fantastic and quick response to my inquiries. A little intricate to code the parameters for this mambot but it would mostly be a one off job for a web site.
Worked great for me.
