It's a good plug in but there is no good support for other languages. If someone wants to translate this plugin, he/she cannot find instructions how to translate this plugin.
Great component but don't let the "three maps" option tempt you to download this.
This is a stylish plugin, and easy to install and configure. As mentioned before, the Google maps was still displaying German information even after selecting English to default (which only affects the front-end driving directions output and not the actual Google map tabs, but luckily this is an easy fix:
1. Using FTP or similar, navigate to (root of Joomla install)/plugins/content/plg_inugmaps.php
2. Do a search for "google.de" and change the .de to .com (or whatever domain your country uses).
3. Save file.
Also, as mentioned above, the plugin does not display the second or third maps in any article, either when placed on a single page or as individual maps so this completely, which renders any uniqueness about this plugin useless.
It's a good start to the plugin, but for now it needs work.

Installed easily and worked ok except some of the language on the plugin remains in German, like the tabs for the map modes, and the error messages, even though the default language was English. Also, when the code is added to the article, the ones for locations 2 and 3 don't work at all.
