With this module you let your visitors easily plan there route to your predefined visiting location. Let them enter their address and let Google-maps do the route calculations:
- No registration or API key required
- Simple form
- Fully configurable
- "AutoFill" compatible field names
- Hide the country field (Define a fixed country or not)
- Plan a reverse route (Choosing the end destination as start destination)
- Open GMap-route in new window, as pop-up or in LightBox
- Get the direction in your own language by selecting the Google base URL
- Multi language support
- Multi instance bug fix
- Now possible to have multiple destinations
- NEW: Native Joomla! 1.6 support
- Joomla! 1.5 version available @ doc-link
This is very simple to install. It has several options to display the map - new window, same window, pop-up window and lightbox.
The only reason I am giving this a four star is because the light box does not seem to work for me. It opens up but the display is blank. Other than this, this free extension works and is in my opinion better than most of the commercial alternatives. Great job!

I did notice this problem aswell, for some reason Google sometimes blocks loading Google maps in an IFrame. I do not have a solution yet...
easy to install and so far is working well, saves alot of time fuffing with google maps api etc
Install in five seconds. Easy to configure. Works like a charm.
