Version 2.18 is the latest version. Now also support Joomla 3.0.
In Joomla 2.5/3.0 (1.6 and 1.7) the plugin can be upgraded automatically with the upgrade feature of Joomla at the extensions.
This is the last version where Google Maps API version 2 is supported because this Google Maps version 2 is deprecated from 19 May 2013. So please migrated to Google MAPS API version 3 (set the version to 3.x in the configuration of the plugin).
Also added language support for all the parameters: English, French, Italian and Spanish.
Please send me language files so I can add them to the plugin. Goto my website to contact me.
Look at the demo site first for documentation. If you've problems please do the checklist on the site: http://tech.reumer.net/Google-Maps/Documentation-of-plugin-Googlemap/checklist-placing-plugin-in-article.html
If this doesn't help or you have questions or new wishes please fill in the form on my website with an url that shows the problem and version of the plugin and Joomla.

I think this plugin is the ultimate solution for displaying a map on a webpage. And support is very fast.
I had a problem with the plugin and emailed this to the developer. New version of the plugin attached, I got a reply in a short time.
Shortly, the plugin is very useful, has an easy management, and gives the user lots of options.
Many thanks to Mike Reumer.

This is a good plugin to use google maps on your joomla site (also on more pages).
The documentation on the plugin website is understandable and does work.
The support by MIKE is also quick if you cant find answers on the documentation or demo pages of the plugin.
I use the google maps plugin to show a map with more than 1 kml. It does work very nice.

Had a problem with the plugin coz I killed my httpdocs folder but not the database and couldn't uninstall the plugin in coz it wasn't there. After not finding the answer in the FAQ's emailed Mark and got the answer I needed very quickly. The answer by the way is duh .. (I'm only new to this) copy the 3 components over to the /plugins/content folder and all is ok. Thanks Mark.
This is such a fantastic plugin, once put in place will undoubtably save hours if you require many maps on your site. you have full control of the maps you implement and can make standardisation across the site simple.
The support from mike is incredible, very fast to respond and very willing to help. im certain developers like this have lots of queries but his assistance is certainly fantastic.

"Service" is a fairy tail with open source software at best. Not with this extension. I emailed Mike 3 or 4 times, each one of them he wrote back very promptly. I have spent days with other extensions and have questions that have yet to be answered on them. Now the extension itself, very cool and adds a lot to the specific page I installed it on. You can make as many kml files as you want using google maps, then link them with this software. Mike even goes as far as explaining how to change up the coding in Joomla, to modify this plugin into a module or component. In addition to this, he has written many "documents" on his website, all to help you get the most out of this as you can. If this looks like something that might help bring your page to the next level, you would be stupid not to get it.
Thanks, and good job Mike!

This plugin is an amazing piece of work. It is so versatile that all the options can make you feel dizzy at first. But the author has a very good support site which he constantly updates, and if you follow the examples listed there, you shouldn't have a problem getting it to work.
Even better, Mike is 150% dedicated. I had a problem with the directions not working in IE. I contacted him via mail with all the necessary information. Eighteen minutes later, I had a reply in my inbox with an attached new version that solved my problem. I am simply amazed.
I am donating to Mike today and would recommend the same to all who use his plugin, to keep the author going.

Mike is the man. This plug-in is wonderful and even if it wasn't wonderful Mike's support and patience with knuckle-heads like me makes it an Excellent plug-in. If you don't use this plug-in for your maps then your just crazy. Thanks again Mike and next pay day you are getting a few dollars from me.

I had a problem installing 4 different locations and still have the route planner work, instead of pointing to 1 location.
Mike got me an answer very fast.
All works perfect now!
Tip for new users, you can use an adress instead of coördinates. Just make sure you use all information ( street + number + city + state/province and country)
Thx Mike

A few weeks ago, I was looking for a sort of plugin for my new website. I needed to modify a few pieces , but I didn't came to a solution. Therefore I was looking around on the extension site and found this plugin. Install and look if I came to the solution I had in mind. That wasn't so I contact Mike ask hem to make what I wan't and a few days later it was on my new site . He is honest, do what he tell to do and is very correct!! Thanks Mike
