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 worked for a week trying to get Google maps in my site. Then in a matter of a day, I found this extension, employed it, had a problem beyond my limited knowledge, and Mike solved it within minutes. I really can't say enough to encourage you to try this extension, and to give a donation of support. I am..
It is THE best!!! Thank you Mike...

I was looking for a plugin to indicate the address of a local music shows.

Congratulations to the author for this excellent work.

Got the google maps plugin installed in wamp/localhost worked perfectly BUT when I uploaded to the server it broke !. Got in touch with Mike who sent me a fix and now works beautifully.
The plugin broke because of a PHP server problem and mike sent me a javascript fix, the only issue I had with the fix was the google api key had to be re-done, my old api key would not work so I had to get a new one. The settings and variations of the map plugin is amazing and I highly recommend it. Mike asked me for a couple of days to fix and true to his word its fixed, if you ever have any probs get in touch with the developer.

thats the absolute best maps-extension you could find!
i need something like this since about three months, and no one is so effectively, so challenging or so easy to handle!
So, everybody, if you need a maps plugin: JUST TRY THIS ONE!
May someone can tell me if or when this plugin will be J!2.5 compossible?
TY so far and ty for this extension!!!

Yes the plugin is compatible with Joomla 2.5. This will be updated in JED very soon
This is one easy to use and implement plugin. The surprising part is now much control you have over it and how much it can do and it is FREE. More importantly it actually works.
There was one issue with my Joomla setup and Mike quickly was able to send the patch to have it work. That simple, hard to believe it was possible. I had read the reviews and I have to concur with the rest of his users/fans. He has written clean, workable code that is respectful of the Joomla framework. I tip my hat to Mike and his plugin.
Thanks for developing this piece of code.

This really is simply the best extension out there, no doubt! And Mike is ready to help you with any questions you might have. Excellent!! I have been using the module on Joomla 1.5 for a number of years and the users have voted by making the page the most popular on the site. Now moving to 1.7 and Mike was on hand to assist.
This plugin has so many options, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. However, the author has provided extensive documentation and examples on his website, which proves very helpful.
I contacted Mike regarding a map layout I was trying to achieve, and apparently what I wanted wasn't possible. Within a day he wrote a new version of it, emailed it to me, and provided me with the exact method to call. Absolutely outstanding, especially for a /free/ plugin!
Keep up the great work Mike!

I have used the google maps plugin in my website to display a map in an article. Despite being new to joomla I found it very easy to implement. I then decided to try and use a kml file with the module on a locally based server and ran in to difficulties. After hours of frustration I emailed the developer (Mike) and was surprised to get a response a couple of hrs later. A few screen shots back in a second email and I was up and running. What makes it even more amazing is that I got this support over the new year!
Mike thanks a million !
