YOOmaps Module

The YOOmaps is a lightweight module for Joomla. It integrates Google Maps into Joomla in a very smart way. Joomla articles are used to display markers with content on the map. All Google Maps features like Zoom Level, Zoom Controls, Map Type and Minimap are fully controlled through the YOOmaps module configuration. A special highlight is the "Get direction" tool which allows visitors to find their route to your company. Route planning has never been easier!

Exclusive YOOtools features:
* Very fast loading using gzip for JS and CSS files

And of course:
* Tableless CSS design and XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.0 valid
* Compatible with any browser (Firefox, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera, Camino)

Download requires a YOOtheme club membership.

Another great extension from YooTheme! Easy to set up. It is so nice to be able to provide directions from any location without opening a new window or tab & without your visitor leaving your site. Gives your site a real Web 2.0, interactive feature! Great to add local points of interest, hotels, entertainment etc.. to your map. Well worth the YooTheme membership for the high quality YooTools & templates! Thanks!!!

I'm using also Yoomaps beside other Yootheme extensions and I have to say, great stuff. I can concentrate me at my job at hand and don't have to bother with to much details. The only wish I have, as you use the artikel title as GEO coord., is that there would be a other way to identify the artikel. But that is a nice to have.
YooMaps is really a very nice component when it comes to mapping services. But one big problem is the support:

First of all you have to become a member of the yootheme template club (at least 3 months) and then the support on the bulletin boards is very poor. :-(

Every other component "for free" has better support than this one ...

excellent, it is very simple to use and looks great!
I totally agree. I found it really easy to set up this module - and it works perfectly. It's so neat to provide your clients a map with a route planner that they already know how to use from Google maps... this really comes in handy.
An excellent little module for placing Google Maps on your site.

I have tried many, including just doing it by hand using Google's API, but this one makes it extremely simple!

Definitely recommended!
