I have used Joomap, upon which this component is built, to great effect on a number of sites but Joomap doesn't appear to have been updated for a while and didn't work properly for me on my latest virtuemart site.
Xmap has picked up the baton and works really well - although it may take those unfamiliar with joomap a while to figure it out. Only problem I had was that the option to edit menu items included in the map didn't work in Firefox (worked fine in Chrome though). Also there is a link to the author which is on by default but which can be switched off in preferences.
It's great to have a properly working sitemap again - thanks to the authors and also the original author of joomap.

Being fairly new to Joomla! I'm trawling the extensions library for a list of must haves for future sites. This is definitely one of them for me.
It was easy to install and to get going and although I haven't tried out everything that it can do, it's working a treat so far.
I've given it an excellent review, because for me it is, but the sites I'm working on are pretty simple and I can't speak for how good it is if you want an all singing, all dancing sitemap!
Great work though and much appreciated - thanks.

I was recently tasked with creating a sitemap for the company website, which was developed in Joomla 1.5. I thought I would give this a shot and am glad I did! A cinch to set up, you simply install it, tell it which menu system you would like to use. Then add a menu item to the sitemap component and like magic the sitemap is generated for you. Saved what could have been a LOT of work for me.
i like this extension but i only have a litlle problem ... how can i delete sitemap id , because now iam on sitemap id 9 , and even when i had deleted sitemap id 1 till 8 , google webmaster tool still detect them , so how can i delete all this old ids and begin from id 1

I prefer Xmap before other sitemaps extensions due to is simplicity and easy configuration. I would to prefer some better and good looking settings opportunities. But it's free and I think there is no better sitemap extension out there.
There are also lots of extensions that has support for Xmap.

only just installed so maybe i a jumping the gun but so far soooo goood..... will save alot of time
Easy to install and use - excellent extension. Webmasters need to be aware that when submitting this sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools, that Google does not like the native sitemap extension (e.g. /sitemap.html) and considers it to be a html page. You can find the fix for this at http://bitofcloud.com/about-joomla/how-to/56-submitting-joomla-sitemap-to-google-webmaster.html.
easy to install - easy to use - works pefectly
