KEY FEATURES
-------------
Standard Joomla Articles, can be bound to geographic features such as POINTs, LINEs and POLYGONs and the resulting maps can be shown in the article page and in an overview map. A single article can be represented by more than one geographic type: so that you can have simultaneously a set of POINTS, some POLYGONS and some LINES for a single Joomla article.
Articles on the map are grouped by layers, appearance can be fully customized through layers configuration.
GeoContent is "free" as in "speech" but not as in "beer", it is only available in bundle with commercial professional paid support, while the lincense remains a free software licence: AGPL V.3
Professional support
--------------------
This component is professionally supported, this means that I will
* fix bugs
* provide reliable remote assistance and support on the component for 12 months from your subscription
* send you all the updates of the component, forever.
Advanced input methods
----------------------
Perhaps the coolest feature, is the availability of two advanced input methods for your geographic objects:
* users can directly draw geographic features from the control panel through an embedded Google Map editor
* users can load geographic data from a GPX (standard GPS format) file
* the new version supports map editing from the front-end too, administrators can enable this feature and define the minimum user lever for map editing or decide to rely on Joomla article's standard permission checks
KML export
----------
Coming to the output methods, an interesting optional feature is KML export : yes, you can directly publish your GeoContent powered Joomla! website into Google Earth!
Fully configurable
------------------
Since articles are grouped by layers, you can change the appearance of a layer and have all map items that belong to that layer changed accordingly.
For each layer, you can style:
* Line color
* Line width
* Polygon line color
* Polygon fill color
* Polygon line transparency
* Polygon fill transparency
* Point icon
* Point icon size (KML only: not supported in the embedded map)
Of course you can configure several aspects of the main map appearance:
* Table Of Content (TOC) type (hidden, list, select)
* TOC position (left, top, right, bottom)
* TOC and main map width (onyl useful for TOC position left and right)
* Which layers should be activated at start (none, all, selected)
* Map dimensions
* KML icon (hide or show)
Flexible binding between geographic objects and Joomla articles
---------------------------------------------------------------
GeoContent allows you to bind articles to the map in several ways:
* a single article is not tied to a single layer (it can belong to many

I never normally take the plunge and buy software without seeing a few good reviews first, but there was something about the look of this software that I liked, so I thought I would give it a try and boy was I glad I did.
Great way of displaying Google maps with Joomla articles right in the maps themselves.
Excellent customer service, the developer, was very helpful and speedy with answering any questions I had and sorted out some bugs for me.
Thank you
