I think this is the best CB plugin there is. Installed in less than 5 min and it worked perfect. I use it for a motorclub and the responses on this plugin are great!

Thank you so much!

This has been long overdue - a mapping tool that geocodes addresses as well as places them on the map. Very easy and very awesome. Good support too in the forums.

It works very easy. Surely worth the money.

Installs easily- it may need a few tweaks, but the developer is right there and answers your questions in a matter of minutes or hours at the most!
Thanks, Cédric!

I am very happy with this extension and the developer is very quick to provide support. Worth the money if you are looking for a way to generate CB user maps with ease.

Need to say no more that this extension is one of the best for Google Mapping and CB companion!

I'd like to suggest some improvements if I may say:
- I wish that there is a "copy" function in the Marker Manager like the one in Joomla Module Manager so if we want to put the same marker layout to another map we dont have to start from the beginning.
- I wish that there is an "on/off" toggle button in the front-end for showing markers in a map. That way, when we have many kind of markers in a map, the users can choose if they want to show some markers or not
- I wish the link to CB profile pop-up in the bubble info has a choice of not limiting to registered users only but open to everybody (like when we create a CB List, there are choices that allowed access to EVERYBODY)

So Cedric, we all eager to see your next upgrade :)

If I could give it 6 stars I would in a blink of an eye.

It does what it says and much much more.
I have been working with it for about a week and I absolutely love it like my customers.

Really nicely coded and allows for much customization to fit your own template/site.

Cedric is an amazing guy.
As mentioned above, money and time well spent.

Thanks a lot mate. I wish all components were as well written as this. I hope to do business with you again soon.

I needed some way to display my existing members on a google map based on their zipcode. This plugin and component does t simply and Beautifully. More importantly, the developer is excellent about support. As with any component, please read his documentation. And since this component depends on CB, you will need to make sure that your CB is configured properly

Thank you Geocode factory

Damn fine extension for CB and a must for any kind of networking site. For those of you wondering if its worth the $37 (AUSD) it really is. No doubt you will need support, which makes sense considering the wide range of options available, and the one-man support team responds within 5 minutes and helped me with several questions, including requests for help that im sure most support crews would have deemed "figure it out yourself" worthy.

Buy it. Its that simple! ^_^

I am a novice with Joomla and found this componant extremely simple to install. Its also easy to customise using both Geocode and the Community Builder plugin manager. The only problem I had (due to me being a novice) was installing one of the plugin componantgs. The plugin has to be installed via the CB Plugin section and not through the Extension install/uninstall section. The instructions do say this whern you install the main componant, but I didn't see it at first.

Well worth the money!

Let me preface by saying I am Joomla newbie and was a big scared to tackle this but with the help Cedric I was able to get it done. Now thta he showed me it is actaully very easy to configure and I am amazed how well thought out the Componant but for me it is all about the support. there is a similiar BC map extension out there that I purchased and had a problem and never heard back from the guy.

Thank again Cedric

If you are looking for a good Google Maps extension for your Community Builder J! site, this is it! Not only does the Geocode Factory for CB work very well, developer support is fantastic. I had a minor configuration problem (my fault) and the developer responded very quickly.

Quite easy to customise. Easy to install with instructions. Support is indeed excellent. I had a little problem that i couldn't solve with support forum and the developers help. So the developer solved it for me at my site. Now that's what i call support!

I tried the Community Builder Geocoding extensions from AngryNinjas, but the geocoder required legacy mode, still didn't work, and I never got a response form their support. Then I tried "The Geocode Factory for CB". Forget the rest, this one is fantastic!. Geocoding worked perfectly. I had one little problem with a map (turned out to be user error), but the support was fast and very helpful. Great mapping features such as clustering and more. This is the one to use.

I use Joomla 1.0.15 and tried a few programs like this. None of them worked like this geocoding tool.
Perfect.
In the beginning I found a small bug, but with very good assistance from the developer and a very clear forum. All worked perfectly and looks very perfect in my website.
Thanx

I love the product and the support. I had some problems with IE8 and the markers. It turned out is was my template that conflicted with IE8 and the markers.
Cédric is very patient and helpful. Thank you.

Well what can I say.
I have been using joomla for a long time and have used many if not all of the CB and Sobi2 commercial and non-commercial extensions and this one is up there with the best. Simple, with good instruction - ( doing what its supposed to!) but most important (and the justification of purchasing a product) is the level of support. And Cedric is "the man"!!!

I highly commend him and his ability to support the product and any small concerns or issues you may have. He was even willing to make a modification at his time/effort and cost w/o charge. Simply outstanding and a credit to the man.

I live in Australia and speak no french but this is the "Crème de la crème"

Having been working on a car club website with over 2000 members, I have been looking for a system to show all members where they are all located, where one can find certain types of cars and so forth. Cedric's extension makes that possible, without much problems at all.

Simple, clear and well written instructions, I was away running this in about 10 minutes.

The support is more than one could imagine, fast replies (even though my French isn't that brilliant!) and Cedric stand 200% behind his product. It is worth every Eurocent one pays.

In short, it works well, good details and excellent programming plus support! I personally recommend this extension!!!

On the wishlist would be being able to add fields to the bubble, being able to show pictures in there as well as a short video, but I am certain Cedric will pick up on this.

I gave it 5 stars, well deserved if you ask me.

I've purchased,I've found a small problem,support in a few hours, the problem solved . Money well spent.Thx for Developer!

This is a great add-on for Community Builder. At just over €23 it is not a lot to pay for the functionality alone.

It's a real plus that Cedric gives great support to the extent that he did some work on my database to get this working within the limitations of my server set-up.

On the downside, for me, his web site is in French and he admits on the help screens that his own English is not the best. Some of the back end is not translated but you can probably manage to figure that out. Most of the fields are obvious.

I had some problems finding installation instructions on his (French) site. Google translate doesn't do such a good job and there are many other extensions there (how does he support them all!). Forum support is in English for the most part.

I may have missed it but I would have liked a step-by-step install and set up instruction sheet. It was not intuitive for me to figure out the way that you need to set up the fields in Community Builder and the way that maps, users list and markers to all work together.

Given this small criticism the result is amazing: If it's all working 'as designed', users fill in their details as they register and they are auto-magically geocoded into Community Builder and a map appears on their profile page showing their position.

You can also have a separate map on your Joomla! web site showing all your registered users displayed with custom click-able icons on a map, with a summary of their profile details in a pop-up. Click on the link and their profile in CB opens up.

I can't criticise someone for not speaking English. My French is terrible.

It a fantastic add on.

(...and a great cheeky idea offering a discount on the next purchase in exchange for an honest review!...)
