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.

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.

This plugin is fantastic. I had some trouble getting it to work because of some jquery conflicts. Sent an message to support and in the same day got the solution. You can do anything you want with this plugin (regarding google maps!) Tried others, but they fall miles behind!

I must admit it is a very good plugin. I checked out another Googlemap plugin before.

This one is recommended. Good job. Thank you.

I had a small issue on an old J1.0 site. Mike took the time to look at the problem and even fix it for free. Wow. What a great support.

I have been using this plugin on several site. I recommend it to anybody.

I don't often write reviews. This is my favorite plugin yet. It is by far the most versatile, attractive, and well administrated. Kudos Kiddo. Keep up the great work! I was amazed at the quality and frequent help I received. Can't thank you enough.

After stumbling here there, finally I can set a nice map on my website!
Thanks..thanks...thanks...!

Just a little tips for newbies (like me:)), if google map doesn't show the correct red point mark, change the latitude and longitude number. In the US, going up (north) means bigger latitude, going right (east) means smaller longitude (with negative number, smaller=bigger:)).
This plugin is excellent. Super customisable and very professional. Don't be fooled when you see the {code}, it's pretty simple to nut it out, and the documentation resources are short and sweet, making utilising this little beauty quick and easy.

Support is FIVE STAR as well. I had troubles with cross browser compatibility; Firefox 3.5.X worked by IE7, IE8 and Safari on PC and Mac didn't. So after looking through the Checklist at http://tech.reumer.net/Google-Maps/Documentation-of-plugin-Googlemap/Checklist-placing-plugin-in-article.html and not finding the right solution (my Javascript knowledge is pretty minimal) I shot an email to Mike in the Nederlands (I'm in Australia), and overnight he sent me the solution.

If you're having trouble with cross-browser/platform compatibility like I was, my solution was to switch the "Load with Mootools?" parameter from Mootools to Timeinterval. Hope this helps some of you.

Again, thanks Mike! This plugin will be a regular addition to our websites! Highly recommend this bad boy!

I had used the extension in several websites always without any problems. However a few days ago I had an issue with one of the joomla templates, I couldn't see the markers and I had no idea what was the problem. Mike answered my request and solved the problem in no time. Great extension and great support!
Sure as a web designer i could copy and paste stuff into the content, but why making life not easy. With this plugin you can save lot of time.
Good work.
Just installed it and it is absolutely fantastic. It works immediately upon enabling. The tooltips and documentation are clear, with a very small learning time. Great Joomla Plugin!!!

This is a plugin you MUST use if you need to give directions or other guidance to your visitors. A map is worth more than 1000 words! Many thanks to Mike for an outstanding support, and thanks for a plugin with an amazing flexibility and control!
