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.
