I have been searching on a last minute notice for a such plugin. After giving a try to multiple options, registering to various sites, I almost gave-up on the idea of automating geo location to a certain set of one particular category.
I was expecting a button on an editor or something to that resort, but instead the article's "key references" field in preferences is utilized. If you keep a separate tab opened with geo location finder (google) to get coordinates - this is the only "downfall" to productivity I saw at this particular plugin.
The parameter sets are amazing and in-depth. Very clean look and polished interface for an admin.
This plugin works flawlessly. No waste of time!
I Thank You for keeping this plugin free! I will not bother removing that clean link under maps - KUDO's on great work!

Hi marcods, in the module parameters you can find the parameter "In case of SEF activated". If you have SEF activated in your site and the module is published in a page reachable from a menu item of first or second level, it's necessary to choose 'Submenu item of first level with Sef activated' or 'Submenu item of second level with Sef activated'.
absolutly great! I'm joomla beginner, so I try to avoid judging to emotionally, but what joomla community does with extensions like this (for free!!!), is the best I ever ever saw (and I'm old enough to say this :-)
So this goes to the review before by andersgunnare: as I said, I'm beginner, but if I understood your problem in the right way, I think you should try jseblod, to get geotagging from the frontend. there you can build templates for your frontend users with address-field and google-map-field and if the frontend user puts his address in, you have geomapping from the frontend, havn't you?
Thanks for this great extension and opportunity and all the best!

Hello World,
The component is very good if it is ok to do the geotagging backend. Then it works really good. For me is it not so usefull because backend is for administration not for population/creating articles. My publishers have access frontend and it is from this place it is needed to get the paossibility to add geo tag to an article.
So for me it got rating "Very Poor", because I don't need a comp/plugin to create this ...

Great tool for information on campus/site locations. The users have both an option to use the map or the menu. It would be nice to be able to use various color markers to identify types of locations, but not a big thing...WebMap+ can do that, but WebMap+ doesn't have the link to an article either, so I have to use both tools to get the job done.

Hi david.wakefield,
thanks for your feedback, in a very very next version of the module we will implement this feature :)
An excellent plugin and module, easy to use, the plugin puts the map in your articles and the module lets you see all your marker so you can use the map as a menu to go to all the articles that have maps. It hase many options, and theres support too!
