This component is what I'm looking for. I need to have a map where people can post a marker to. When Installed I thought this would be great. However the map doesn't show correctly with my site and everything wants to shift around. I have tried to get assistance with this but to no avail. I hope you can work on this component and get it stable for a live site. It has great potential.

At first moment seems very good and nice component, but this impression disappears when you try to add a location. Component moves it to completely different place. Practically unusable for the moment.

This extension is very promising and the guy behind that is very skilled. Unfortunately the extension is not yet mature for livesites since there are some real bugs with JS and furthermore it is still missing a module which should be standard for a component since most people dont want to use the maps as maincontent but as an addition to it. I do hope this standards will be released soon and i claim my wish for a Pro version which will be updated on a more regular basis.

It's a pretty good component, unfortuntly it does not let me map outside of roads, an example when my place mark is on a mountain, after posting, it automatically places the place mark to the nearest road. If this component did not do that, it might be just what I need. It's great for street maps and such. Also in the admin panel I like the option of having the post link to an article, which if you could do this in the front end, that too would be awesome! Great job on this component. Cheers Josh Lewis.
