Highly recommended.
Hi,
Depending on your joomla config, this could be:
1) your browser cache
2) your joomla cache, or
3) your web server cache
That's why you are still seeing the old page even though you have changed the tag (remember this is a plugin so the page url remains the same.)
Try to clear (1), (2) and (3) above and see if the page will refresh.

All other browsers are OK.
Hi,
It's working with IE8.

One of the most key essential plug-in that I will add to most of my future websites.
I presented the map to my client and they were captivated by it! "Well, that's better than sliced bread!"
I chose to pay the very affordable $10 fee to have the License Link removed and was able to download the extension immediately.
I did receive the wrong version however, so I emailed kksou and asked for the correct one. I was very pleased when it arrived in less than an hour! I am in the central part of the US and it was around 1:00am at the time.
Further, I was offered additional assistance which wasn't even necessary, but, I was very grateful for the offer.
My usage of the plugin was as follows:
The plugin itself was designed to be used in an article and/or content area of Joomla. I however, wanted to use it in a module. So, I simply added a code macro to the module and placed the plugin code within it and voila! Instant map in a module. What could be easier? And, the whole plugin is around 10k in size. Perfect!
The greatest thing is that there are lots more parameters to test with this plugin and I can use it in the way it was intended also, for installing into articles.
I am very pleased with the plugin as well as the top-notch service I received.
Thanks kksou!
Excellent!
Then, I tried to match up my previous/old GoogleMap plugin with the Articles Anywhere, but this time, the doesn't show at all.
Then I search again until I found this googleMaps plugin and gave it a try! And the result...
googleMaps plugin + Articles Anywhere = Perfect!!!
To the developer -- kksou, thank you very very much!
Thank you developer!
