I have only one complaint. I can't figure out how to make several categories, but apart from that - it is an excellent piece of software and very smooth to install.

If you want to put multiple locations on a google map,this is your extension! It's easy to use, intuitive. One of my favorite features is that it shows a Google Map in the general configuration modes and in the add-a-place to the map mode. The other two or three extensions I looked at did not have this feature. Thank you so much for this extension! Merci!

Works fantastic. One thing I would love to see in the future is for the Menu item to display a table of all the businesses below the map. So users can click on a business name rather than point all over the map until they see what they like.

really easy to install and to use, allows to add locations very easily and really enjoyed the directions option :)
just missing, in my opinion, 2 things:
- editor bt to put the {code} in the content, so users don't have to memorize it
- option to use tooltips when clicking in the icon instead of opening a new page

For the first one, it is possible to use other extensions to put custom code, but it would be nice to have an interface that would allow us to choose all the options to go with {svmap}
As for the second, I found a way to do it. It is a small change in fact:

FILE: \components\com_svmap\models\svmap.php
LINE: 384
FIND:
window.location.href = "'.JURI::base().'index.php?option=com_svmap&svmap_id='.$business->id.'&svmap_user_id='.$business->user_id.'&svmap_type='.$business->type.$Itemid.'";

REPLACE:

//window.location.href = "'.JURI::base().'index.php?option=com_svmap&svmap_id='.$business->id.'&svmap_user_id='.$business->user_id.'&svmap_type='.$business->type.$Itemid.'";

var myHtml = "'.$business->name.''.$business->description.'";
map.openInfoWindowHtml(point'.$cnt.', myHtml);

Very Well done mate.
I am suggesting this to anyone.
The only thing missing is the Google map tooltip.

I have printed out the entire codes and I am studying it. I am not very good with OO coding but I am learning it.

I have used your code, modified it and made another form of store locator, I will send you the link as soon as it goes live, I have referenced your website in it too.

Very Well Done mate.
Cheers

I found it easy to install and to use. The only thing I miss is that I can buy it so that the "SourisVerteMap - La Souris Verte" commercial goes away.

Almost there! This is a very good and useful extension, but you need to be absolutely precise in the addresses you supply both for contacts on the backend and lookups for directions on the frontend. If you have an extra space at the end or incomplete information for an address line, you will get inconsistent and incomplete markers on the map.

Great plugin, work perfect with my application, at this moment it is the best one for joomla. Thank you very much for it

This is an excellent module. A tip, when you're entering data push tab between fields to get the search text to load at the bottom. I had probs with it in Explorer loading in new items. And it would be nice if you could create your own categories, like a region, and assign a marker to that category. All round good though.

I installed this component and got some error messages, as it expected me to have the French language installed as well. Other than that, it worked as advertised. Very easy to install and configure. I was so impressed, that I just provided the author with a german translation!
My only comment is: no documentation, other than what's on this page. As a result, I havn't figured out what "Options" means in the configuration and how to make effective use of them. Maybe somebody could add that.
Great Component. Thanks very much!

Having utilised some of the other Google Maps components out there I really thought that one location and a mediocre directions bubble was the only thing cosmetically possible. I love the way you can right click in configuration to generate your co-ordinates, add various markers onto a single map, and add sub maps to individual content items/articles. I could not use this commercially mainly because it does not contain a directions parameter, but if you could add this I would be willing to pay pounds shillings and pence for this. Please contact m if you are planning to develop this and would like some beta testing doing. Summary: Fantastic!!

I've tried this component and the plugin and had no problem. Everything went ok. I think it would be great if it could be connected to the contacts section, as an extension to their current business contacts.
Good job!
