This installed easy and has many options that i would usually expect to pay for. Easy to tweak apart from one issue...
link category will not work without section category enabled. I dont want to link section. Maybe a bug, maybe my buggerup. Even so, powerful enough for most users i think.

The component as well as it's miniview & sidebar work well. Install is straightfoward with plenty of config options. Your page simply shows the googlemap. No ads or popups or other unsightly poo. The option to choose an individual marker category for the sidebar would be a handy addition to the next update. The only problem i had was working out how to change the font colors in the infoWindow XSL file. (if you have white text on page you may see nothing) >> Add a #map tag to your template css file with the settings you require then call the #map tag befire the text entries in your xsl file. Remember that XSL requires strict open/close on all tags.

You will love it !!!

I kid you not. As a joomla noob I found xplorer to be fantastic. It really does simplify uploading and managing files. You MUST have this component. It worked right off the install. It takes no time at all to learn. Install it now.

Im a Joomlanoob! Install is a doddle, very easy to use. As a dwarf among joomla users I highly recommend it

Thankyou devs who made this.
