Basic usage
To embed a map in an article use the following code:
{google_map}address{/google_map}
{google_map}address|zoom:10{/google_map}
{google_map}address|zoom:10|lang:it{/google_map}
{google_map}address|width:200|height:200|border:1{/google_map}
{google_map}address|width:200|height:200|link:yes|link_label:Label{/google_map}
{google_map}address|link:yes{/google_map}
{google_map}address|type:satellite{/google_map}
{google_map}address|show_info:no{/google_map}
{google_map}address|https:yes{/google_map}
*{google_map}latitude,longitude{/google_map}
* latitude,longitude = coordinates in decimal degrees
Example 1
Replace the "address" string with the address which location you want to show on the map.
{google_map}Sunset Boulevard West Hollywood{/google_map}
Example 2
Replace the "latitude" and "longitude" strings with the coordinates which location you want to show on the map. The coordinates must be expressed as decimal degrees.
{google_map}60.1705,24.9384{/google_map}
Excellent software.

Google Maps JavaScript API allows customization of the embedded maps by using custom designed images. Unfortunately this plugin is not using the API, so replacing the marker with your own logo is not possible.
I really like SOBIPRO, it has a lot of unique and cool features.
The geomap feature is what hooked me to it.
But this extension allows me to leave SOBIPRO which with all its great features is very complex and need rocket science.
Thanks Petteri Kivimäki, if you had a PayPal donate link, I would use it.

Excellent and so easy way to integrate Google Maps into Joomla.
I tried several before this one and consequently wasted so many hours it's not a joke. Wish I'd come here first. Downloaded, configured and voila! It worked first time.
Thank you Thank you for making something necessary in today's business sites and simplicity itself to use.

Installed and running in a few minutes. No problems at all. Great plugin. Thanks.
The plugin works exactly how it is described here. Easy to install, configure and use even for a newbie..
Good work guys..Keep it up...

Does everything it says on the tin! Installed in Joomla 3 just fine. As a further feature I'd like to be able to enter co-ordinates for those remote places with no searchable feature.

Since the version 1.1.1 it's possible to enter coordinates as well. Comma separated latitude and longitude must be expressed as decimal degrees, e.g. 60.1705,24.9384.
