Version 3.0 is the latest version.
This version will not automatically update in Joomla 2.5/3.0. Because the internal name of the plugin is changed so you need to do a special update:
1. Install the new version 3.0. This is a new plugin, it does not replace the version 2.x plugin!
2. Do not open the plugin configuration! First you need to enable the new system plugin called "System - Google Map" in the list of plugins by clicking the red dot in the status column. This is the only way to copy all your parameters from the old plugin to the new one!
3. After enabling the plugin in the correct way (point 2) you can check if the settings of the old plugin are copied correctly by opening the new plugin configuration settings.
4. After that you can disable the old system plugin called "Google Map"
This is a version that only support google maps api version 3! Version 2 is deprecated from November 2013 so we need to migrate.
Also added language support for all the parameters: English, French, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
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

I am using this on my website and i am getting amazing comments from my customers that are helped because of mikes great support too - it supplies vast amounts of information in a small palace - and i really have to thank Mike for his Time and great talent with his plugin! We need more Mikes in our community!
I run a website for a group of associated organizations and I found this plugin invaluable for creating location maps for each organization. With the latest version maps can also be added to content in modules: meaning that in our events calendar, we can also include maps.
Mike is prompt to respond to queries.
All in all an excellent product, and one which I would heartily recommend to every developer!

Just installed the latest version of the plugin on my Joomla 1.5 site. The installation and configuration was very straightforward. When I wrote to Mike asking for help about how to adjust the zoom, he replied in about 15 minutes! Now, that's service!
Just for everyone's info, he said he made a change in version 2.11a so the zoomlevel is following Google's setting convention instead. You have to do 19-old zoomlevel = new zoomlevel.
Overall, a great plugin!

this extension is fantastic and the support is the best so far. Mike has been a great help in deploying this the way I want it to. Highly recommend this extension. Easy to administer - works great and love the easy lightbox setup.
Author is even contemplating some ammendments which would be nice in the next release
Thanks Mike!!

I downloaded the plugin and installed with no problems.
When in my site I didn't see things correctly, Mike pointed me to a problem with my template in less than an hour.
I really recommend this plugin for the great job of his author and his great support.
Congratulations Mike!

This one is highly recommended.
Installing and setup was very easy.
Only thing was that the map did't work in IE7...
Turned out to be a problem in my template!
Mike solved it for me, so his support is excellent.
Very fast reply on my emails,
Mike: well done!

Very good site by Mike and great plug in. I just installed Joombla yesterday and I am having a blast.
I was a complete newbie to Joomla when I installed this on our organization's website. After I got the hang of it, it worked great. Our members are thrilled. I tried it on a different template and had some trouble getting it to work. Mike was extremely helpful in helping to resolve the issue.
This plugin works great. Thank you very much!
Great extension, did just what we wanted straight out the box!
Just a shame requires Legacy mode in Joomla 1.5, otherwise a fantastic extension!

The Googlemaps plugin is an easy to use, really fantastic plugin. With a little tweaking (that is explained on the plugins home page), this installs and works like a dream! As a relative newbie to joomla (I'm using 1.5), I had the plugin installed and working in both modules and contacts within 3 minutes.
I'd recommend this plugin to anyone who needs to display googlemaps. The developer is happy to respond to requests, and seems to be constantly updating and improving the plugin. Top work Mike, and thanks for all your hard work!

I was looking for this sort of plugin for a J! 1.5 site and I'm very happy to say this works fine with the new Joomla. Even though the instructions say that Legacy mode needs to be enabled, I have managed to install and run this plugin without enabling Legacy mode.
All I had to do was to modify the xml file to the new J!1.5 format structure and repackage the plugin and, voila, it installed without problems. I don't know why the author(s) don't create a J! 1.5 version of this plugin since it's so simple...
