Wow! I have been using Joomla! for well over 5 years. I literally spent 4 hours this evening trying to find the right Google Maps anything(!) - some had strange links that I couldn't remove, etc.
I used all 3 plugins, including the Directions to Here and I had everything installed and running within 15 minutes! Easy to understand, GREAT instructions on website.. Thank you for some great programming!
