With Geocode Factory Component, you can create an unlimited number of Google Maps (v3) or Openstreetmap (or other custom map). Each map has its unique parameters like zoom, zoom range, clustering, size, intro texts, radius search, locate me button (browser position for Android devices, iPhone, iPad, new browsers), etc... Any map can also be assigned to it's individual menu item if desired or into a module position (free module available).
The capabilities of Geocode Factory are extended by use of "markersets". Markersets are how the mapped data that shows on a particular map is defined and filtered. Creation of a markerset is very easy and multiple markersets can be displayed on the same map. For example if you wanted a map that displayed both the locations of your Jomsocial members and your SobiPro entries, Geocode Factory can do this!
Custom map markers can be used in Geocode Factory. A personal image or the profile avatar can be used as a marker icon. The markers can be linked by lines in multiple ways. For example you could show connection lines between Jomsocial friends or lines between Sobi entries and their owner. The combinations are endless! The markers are loaded as XML to increase performance instead of plain text javascript and a caching system is also an option.
The bubble (normal or tabbed) can contain any custom fields from the source component, an online status, avatar (icon for sobi2), streetview, distance from radius, waysearch, etc. The bubble is fully customizable with HTML statements, and loaded with a click with ajax to reduce the loading time.
You can mix profiles and points of interest on the same map (with different icons ans bubbles), for example, by showing the Sobi2 entries in a 50km radius from the logged user.
If you have existing profiles, it's easy to fetch the geographical coordinates (geocode) for them by the user postal address (zipcode, street, country ... etc). The process is launched in one click and the program divide the profiles in packages, to prevent max time execution errors. You can also silent geocode users during profile creation and edition. Google Apikey is no more needed.
This package includes :
Jomsocial plugin Map and Geocode plugin
Community Builder plugin Map and Geocode plugin

Firstly, I purchased another extention to manage my maps but when I discovered Geocode Factory, I forgot the other. The component is flexible and powerful. And when I didn't understand anything, I get contact with the support and they replied the same day. Very professional and helpful.
For me, there is no geolocation extension better than this one.
The developpers team have to continue (perhap's with Joomla! 3.0... :-))

Easy to install, works out of the box. Component being improved all the time and great support. If only other developers had a work ethic like myjoom the world would be a better place!!
Easy to install and the support is always there, even on weekends, I'm using it on community builder and works good.
This component is fantastic! I needed for Adsmanager and like his name says: It is a factory! You can do everything you want.
The support is great! They answer you very fast!
I don't see any bad points in this component. So don't doubt to buy it, it worth it!
Thank you Myjoom team for your work!

I have been playing around with this component for a number of weeks now, and I can't actually fault it! The developer is highly proactive, both at development and forum participation.
If you need to be able to geocode entries from Sobi2/SobiPro or members from CB/Jomsocial, then seriously.....look no further!
For the money, this is in a league of its own, therefore I HIGHLY recommend it!
Great work Z.Rick! I look forward to future releases that blow my mind even more!

With Geocode Factory I transformed my SOBI Pro powered website to the next level. The possibilities of Geocode are endless. You have full and easy control to make different type of maps. Maps that can be used on different pages.
The possibility of configuring individual markersets, enables the possibility to present maps with field specific results.
The use of the plugin 'Geocode Factory SobiPro search results' makes the presentation of the SOBI Pro results on a map possible. The presentation of the search results is also highly configurable.
Geocode Factory is the product no be missed for everyone who want to have total freedom and full control to present SOBI Pro items on a geographical level.
The support is outstanding. Any question you will have will be answered professionally and completely by Rick.

Geocode is a great application. Because if I am not so expert in Joomla, I needed some help. Support is really quick and kind. Good work!!!
If you are looking for a GEO component support for CB,Sobi2,Sobipro or Joomsocial this is your last stop. It work right out of box.

1.Cost :
I feel it worst every penny i invested. Support 4 big guy CB,Sobi2,Sobipro or Joomsocial in just 1 single component. Automatic recognize all exist data from third party component above.
2.For regular user:
Very easy to use and implement to other component. Have couple modules-plugin you should buy to fit what you expect in your site.
3.For developer:
Code very organize, easy to read and change.
4.Support:
All problem or bug i found post in forum or open support ticket Z.Rick address very fast. New release always come after that for bug fix.
5.Conclusion:

Some concern for Author:
Website have many sample and information but need more organize. I get lost when try to find Document for each purchase product.
For Buyer: careful when download your files. He set the limit of number of download. I got that mistake before realize. So save your download for new version. :)
