This is what i was looking for.
Excellent extension. The only problem i find is about the markers because it is not so clear in the documentation how to set them in the map.
Generally it is very easy in both installation and usage!!

I just wanted to say that its an EXCELLENT extension, like no other I found.
Having the map and the contact form on one place gives a whole idea a complete powerful look and use to the web page, especially for those web pages that offers curtain products or services which are related with the location.
All options offered in the component works like charm, GREAT JOB!
I always admire to the developers who are giving the opportunity for everyone to use great extensions for free.
RESPECT!

Using Joomla 1.6 on a Mac 10.6.8 server, the version before Oct 2011 gave me trouble, but NOW the contact form is working nicely! ***** (5 stars) In searching the other Maps, I could not find a nice balance of information, map -AND- contact submission form. I've only been working with Joomla for a little while, although I have been working with websites for over 10 years... Installing the module was easy for me, I just went into Joomla Extension Manager > Upload Package File... Later I found the new Contact Map item under Components menu.
It seems ideal. Thanks for the tool. : )

Thank you for your feedback.
This extension has hidden links, this is not fair for the users, you could write in the extension description a Note that it contains hidden links!! This is cheating
Owner's reply
These link are deleted from the 4.5 version.
It was written on the forum and the previous review!
This Component is very good, works nicely with the native Contact component and has a very decent template. One thing that concerns me though is that it inserts invisible links (namely "chateauneuf", "Fay aux loges" and "Canal d Orléans") via the contactmap.php file, rule 159, function getRef($id) (which cannot be changed by the template files). This is not good practice or fair to the users. They should at least have the decency to make these links publicly visible and give the user an option to turn them off.

Well... I nearly didn't use this as I had such a bad experience using this guy's other Component for Google Maps, but I am glad that I gave it a chance.
If you want a simplistic Component which is very simple to use then this is the one to go for.
Works Perfectly and I'm over the moon with joy. Thank you to the developer for adding a "proper" button which allows you to remove the author link.
I will be donating to the future suxccess of this Component and thank you once again for such an innovative solution.

Hi,
There are the responce on the forum !!!
2 possibilities :
1) In your contact, you haven't writing the email address.
2) In your menu item, you haven't selected a contact.
This extention works great but only has some minor layout problems. I hope developer can take a look on those minor problems and then it ROCKS!!! Yo ho!
Owner's reply
Can you tell me, what is exactly your layout problems ?
If you post on the forum, you have a responce, and I fix the problem!
This is a good contact component to show Google map along with the email form.
However, there are still many things to be improved:
1. There is NO "email copy" feature which is offered in the Joomla default contact component.
2. Please add support for JoomlaXi Captcha plugin to avoid spam messages.
3. The marker will show the "contact image" again in the bubble. It is useless. I hope the "Marker" feature will allow the webmaster to define several places/locations, each with their own photo, like the building entrance, then these marker will all be shown on the map. For example: Air port, railway station, subway station, and your office. Then visitor can easily choose the places to find the directions/routes.
Thanks.
