Usually it would be used to display an address or hyperlink. A hyperlink is possible use the format: linkName. Don't use (double) quotes!

address is for a address to search for the coordinates (lon/lat has to be empty)

Found the plugin to be very useful and flexible. Just what I need.
Had and issue with 'No Document Found' in IE8, Chrome and Safari but Mike solved it via email very quickly.
The solution was remove special characters as well as ' and & then replace with " and & in the KML file.
I have installed this plugin on several different sites and the only error I've had was from entering the wrong Latitude and Longitude settings from Google. High recommended!
I am having fun with this easy-to-use and very useful plugin. I wanted to do something unique with it, and Mike Reumer provided prompt, superb support! Two thumbs up!

Great extension. Mike was extremely helpful with everything. I am a noob as well and was very patient with me and responded with prompt and precise emails. I strongly recommend this extension for anyone looking for google maps on their site.
Thanks for this great extension which makes the use of Google Maps much easier than with the google API. Keep up the great work!
I had a problem with my .css file, and they fix it in a minute! 5 stars! Very QUICK support!! * * * * *

Mike Reumer's Googlemaps Plugin is highly recommended in my eyes. It contains an astounding number of useful parameters and - as far as I can see - works fluently and very reliable.

Newcomers may initially be a bit confused about all the possibilities this plugin does provide, but that's just normal. Joomla netheads will definitely enjoy them.

As a side note: Mike is very courteous and will gladly help you out in case you encounter any issue about using the plugin on your site. Even if the issue is not related to the plugin itself, e. g. browser glitches or template glitches.

Thank you very much, Mike.

Thank you so much for this plugin. Took me a little while to figure out how to use it (Rookie!) but once I worked it out it was awesome. Great work!

Great plugin!! Maybe consider changing the example to mapType='Hybrid' ;)

Very useful and flexible tool.
With the kml files and GeoXML, you obtain maps where you can hide or show points thank to checkboxes in a sidebar. These checkboxes are the folder's name in the kml files.
Read a lot of the reviews on this before trying it out. Must say was NOT disappointed. This is a great extension, easy to configure and with excellent support from Mike. Thanks again Mike for putting in the time to produce a solid non-commercial extension, like other non-commercial extension developers on this site your effort is greatly appreciated.

By far one of the best-working and most useful plugins available. LOTS of configuration options allowed me to get it looking and functioning just like I wanted. Kudos to Mike - a nice guy who was very helpful when I ran into a very minor snafu.

Exactly what I was looking for. Works great. Very good support!

I needed a little help form the creator to get my install working which was due to my rookie level of working with Joomla. He was prompt and helpful and now my install works perfectly. The plugin has a lot of variables that others don't include allowing me to add a custom marker for my maps. Thanks to your plugin Mike, my site is improved with your efforts! Keep up the good work!

I needed to display maps in a variety of ways and this plugin did the job very well. The options are many and this is what appealed to me. Also the support is great. I needed some explanation of the plugin and it was answered quickly. I recommend this plugin for you map needs.

Im using this plugin and I have to say its the best Google Maps integration for Joomla there is and I have tried them all(at least in this site)!!

Most of them are either not working or lacking a lot of features or extremely complicated to use.

Mike's plugin on the other hand is really easy to use and has all the features you can think of, plus everything is concentrated in one single page so you cant get much confused(so neat and tidy :))

The only issue i came up to using it was that I couldnt place it on my contact page no matter what I tried but Mike's support was really great and he answered me the same day I wrote him an email!

So if you're facing the same problem and you cant place the Google map inside a module or a component here's the solution:


Additionally, I discovered during my research that surprisingly this plugin is working flawlessly with this module



and they make a perfect combination ;)

I love this. I had a problem at first that was my own mistake in syntax, but Mike showed me where I was off, and now its exactly what I am looking for. Thanks Mike for your great work
