In Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 the plugin can be upgraded automatically with the upgrade feature of Joomla at the extensions.
Also added language support for all the parameters: English, French, Italian and Spanish.
Please send me language files so I can add them to the plugin. Goto my website to contact me.

The version for Joomla 1.0 will not evolve after version 2.12o. So 2.12o will be the last version for Joomla 1.0. Of course support for Joomla 1.0 is still possible.
I installed this plugin on my website but wasn't sure if it fitted my exact needs. I contacted Mike who not only advised me that I couldn't get the results I wanted with his product but also gave me some other options of extensions that would work.
I will DEFINITELY be utilizing this plug in on my other websites as it was completely seamless to integrate, worked perfectly and had all the functionality stated.
Support was amazing and Mike is a pleasure to deal with. If you want a Google Map Plug-in then this is the one!

Great 'extra' for your site. Had a question and Mike give me the solution right away! Works just perfect, just take time to experiment with all the possibility's and you will have a nice streetview - routeplanner or what ever you want about Google Maps on your site.
Thanks Mike!

This is so great extension! Author Mike's full support! Working like a charm. Works perfectly! I suggest everyone to use this extension!
The extension does everything i needed for my project, that needed a lot of maps - perfect fit.
More than that, i was interested in some of the fuctionalities that arent yet offered in current version, so the developer was very quick to provide me the new version which wasnt released yet and it worked like a charm.

I am very grateful to Mike Reumer who have made and continue developing this great plugin. This plugin is very easy installation, supported by comprehensive documentation and samples. I've tried it on Joomla! version 1.5 to 2.5, and everything works perfectly. I've also sent an email to Mike to ask some things about the GoogleMaps plugin, and he was a very friendly. This plugin would be perfect if it has a button that will make it easier editor entries, with an option to display the latitude longitude, zoom level, etc.. Thanks Mike ..
Hi Mike,
thank you very much for this plugin. It works perfectly except that :
- I would like to change the text in the "Goto" button (to use the french word for "search" instead of "Goto") and I don't know how to do this.
- When an address is found, it is indicated on the map with a bubble for a few seconds but not with an icon. It looks like icons are available only with itineraries and not with addresses.
Thanks a lot for helping ... if my english is understandable ...

Please send me an email by entering the contact form on my website then I can help you and can send you a new version for the goto button.
The goto address only shows a infowindow and not a marker. I can have a look if we can support it.
Great Extension - Up and running in minutes - communicated with developer about a minor issue that turned out to be specific to my editor and he sent me a patch within the hour!
East install and Mike was just fantastic with helping work out some behind the scenes problems to get it to work. I highly recommend this plug-in and it's author.
Thanks Mike.
