Gmaps Info is an excellent extension! I´ll use it as a locator for my shops. With some editing I changed it to fit my needs. I also created a spanish language file and sent it to the autor so he can include it on the next version of the extension. Thanks a lot for great software! Greets!
Just installed this on my site. All I needed was a basic "here is where I am" map embedded. This did the trick. I linked a menu item to one of the URLs listed on the site, near the bottom:
Worked great! Make sure to change the lat/long to fit your needs in the configuration.
I would love to see this a little more intuitive in terms of publishing and maybe some custom icon abilities (if not available). Otherwise a great extension. Greatly appreciated!

This is the best Google map management component for Joomla. It allows user to choose the location by click on the real map. Of course you can input the longitude and latitude if your know the exact number.
It will be better if the author develop a plugin to insert map into Joomla article, and a module to show latest/random/specific map on a module positon. Thanks.
