This is a great map extension.
I had issues after installing it, but after contacting the support the issue was solved very quickly.
Very easy to use and everything is self explanatory.
I guess few more hotspot detail options like url, phone, and such would be great, but nothing that would change my opinion about it.

I experiencied some little issues with my Hotspots.
I contacted the developer and my problems were solved in several minutes.
I'm very happy with this component and the support was just excellent!
Thanks!

the best support, and an EXCELLENT and AMAZING product. the personal support i received for a custom problem (not a problem with hotspots), and even though this was not his problem he helped me fix it. Very talented and helpful support. i recommend this to anyone who likes what the demo looks like, it works great!
I rarely purchase extensions, especially when there's no "lite" version to demo on my own site. However, I needed a very full featured, multi-location map and after looking at all the other offerings, I made the leap.
The extension has a clean look and a very nice user interface: one can zoom, pick and filter locations, email the map, etc. Most impressive is the support--my questions were answered in a timely manner and no inquiry seemed too small (or in my case, stupid). Cudos to the developers on this one!

I had to get a map solution up right away and I've had experience with a few other less than positive map extension experiences in the last few years.
Before I downloaded it I had some reservations about this solution. It looked okay but I couldn't tell if it would do all the things I needed, especially allow map point edits from the front-end of the site.
I can now tell you that if you have any reservations about this solution, forget them. Not only is this the greatest map solution available as a Joomla extension, but the support is exceptional.
Don't waste your time trying to make a non-commercial solution work correctly with your site or wait forever to hear back from some of the other commercial solution providers. Download and install Hotspots then go spend time fixing something else.

What else can I say.... the headline does it already. This is just a perfect one.
We use a lot of different components and stuff for a lot of commercial websites... up to now this one was the best.
Daniel´s support - even on sundays - is outstanding.
Thank you for this piece of software!!!

Everyone who want to have a nice Map on his Website with multiple locations should have the module"Hotspots".
Especially the social thinking to give your users a tool to set Hotspots is very, very, very cool.
The Support is outstanding, the price is fair and the quality is very good.

I was looking for a way to integrate Google Maps into my JomSocial designed website. Even though JomSocial has its own Google integration - it is pretty basic. HotSpots answers the question and does more than I asked. Besides being multi functional the support from Daniel is A+. I asked a question in the forums that was csv related to the component and I was answered in a matter of hours. I am very happy with this purchase and I wish the developers the best as they continually try to improve on the functions.
Hot Spots is an awesome addition to any web site. Along with being user friendly the customer service that you receive is top quality. I am very excited to say that I will be using this product on my future projects to help my sites grow.

Good Work.
