This module creates a Google map with icons marking where upcoming events created in the JomSocial events component are happening.
The module comes with a ton of configuration settings and a CSS file for even more styling options. You can also easily set up custom map markers for each event category for the ultimate events map!

Easy installation, works straight out of the box. Has enough configurable options to be able to tweak it to display exactly as you need without having to resort to diving into the code.
A well thought out module, great price too. Nice to see good mods for a reasonable price.

This might be a fantastic extension, however it doesn't work on my site. I purchased the extension for$8 via PayPal on 3/21/12, installed it on my site, and the google map doesn't show.
I searched for some reasons why it might not show and didn't find anything, so I emailed the developer.
I emailed the developer again on 3/28/12 and I have yet to hear from him.
So the extension might be a wonderful one for others, but not for me, and support from what I have received is non-existent.

puts my sports events website on a new level. for a few dollars you get all events on your map visualized automatically with an icon representing the event category - I was looking exactly for this! :)
had a few problems, used too big icons and messed up the folder path...support is great, problem was solved with some emails within a coupole of days.
thanks :)

Love this!
Does this offer support to the EventList component?

No, not at this time. Perhaps if there is more interest, but I don't have plans for this feature right now.
I always look for cool, little extensions to make my sites unique and this one does that. I installed it and it just worked! I'd say this (and Andrew's event plugin as well) is a must have add-on for JomSocial v1.8+!
