I read the reviews before trying this out. Here I am 1 hour later, component installed, plugin installed and module installed, all 3 working brilliantly.

A masterpiece, that's what this is, and this here Sir is a generous man worthy of praise for sharing this with us - for free.

I have never written a review before, but after this experience, I just had to.

Thank you for making it so functional. Your extension is one of the very best, that I can assure anyone who is reading this.
Owner's reply: Hi. Thank you very much.
I try to keep it for free, and keep developing new features :)
I just during that days creating 4 icons for new features (which is already done) - in next release you can manage to show/hide traffic, transition, bicycle and panoramio layers by buttons on map.
And very appreciate to any person who support my developments.
Cheers,
Dmitry

Excelent tool and incredible good support

I have this component installed for a cultural project. There are many parameters but this isn't a big problem. Without reading the manuals I could put a map online with some placemarks. Then I had a problem and couldn't find the answer in the manual or Forum. The support Dima Delivers is selden found for commercial components. Within hours I received answers. You should use this component not only because of the quality of the component but also for the great support.
Owner's reply: Thank you for your patience.
It was my fault - my new JS-script, that I created to my new engine have this bug (not correct process for some parameter combination), and in future release I'll fix it. And you help me to fix it by simple explanation - difference between component and module behavior.
When you give me access to admin panel - I found this in a few minutes, and appreciate you for that.

Truly an excellent component

Truly an excellent component. i like it! it would be better if there is zh_CN language support.
Owner's reply: Hi, thanks.
If you wish Chinese translation (and have time), you can join on Transifex to my project translation and help to do that ;)
Moreover, you can use my other extension Zh BaiduMap, which uses Baidu Map API (Chinese Map API)

AWESOME support

It has been said many times here: This Component, Plugin and Module is amazing! But what is even more amazing is the Support Dima has given me. I had an issue with displaying google earth and after a few back and forth the module with the error in the code was updated and sent to me.

Please remember this is a free component, which the developer has no obligation for support.

I recommend this product and developer highly!

Great Component!

The best free Google map component with options that even other commercial components don’t have! It’s very easy to create a simple map but this component can do so much more. I use it for my tourist guide website with map on every article and a general map with lots of placemarks and placemarks groups. You can even use a full screen map! The only thing missing is batch process parameter but still the best Google map I tried with excellent support and documentation.

Great extension!

I used this extension on a j2.5 site a couple of years ago as a route planner and I've just added it to the eventual replacement, a responsive j3.2 site that I'm building in MAMP ... This extension is great and not as difficult to work out what everything does the second time!

Brilliant - Just Brilliant

When you first open up zh Googlemap you think "Whoa, I'll never figure this out". Its so feature rich - there's so much this component can do. But don't be daunted - Go for it.



I've used it for really simple maps and for very complex interactive maps - I mapped a whole state of Australia, breaking it up into approximately 90 individual highly detailed territories (polygons). This component made what seemed like the impossible, very easy. And I've seen what others have done and some of them are amazingly awesome - the detail and the features are mind-blowing.



Once you finish, you think "I wonder if I could add [something/anything]?" YEP! Its all there - anything I can think of, this component does it.



The instructions are a bit difficult - the English is a bit broken, BUT ask the developer on his forum and he's straight back to you with the answer. Can't ask for more.



AND, this component is regularly updated with new features.



I love it. Just excellent.

Absolutely amazing

I wanted a component or plugin to use with k2 where I can use lots of different maps all with various different placemarkers. I needed them for category layouts. After 2 weeks and just about giving up I gave this component, along with the plugin, a try, and it is fantastic. It looks overwhelming at first, but after playing around you notice all the extras that I have not seen on any other maps. Thank you to the developer and for making this component non-commercial. Highly recommended and fantastic work!
Owner's reply: Thanks.
You can notice, if you create simple map - you just only need to do - it is leave all by defaults.
In this case to create map - just set it width, height and center.
As for placemark - it's position and map.

It takes 10 seconds to create map.

The other settings - for advanced playing :)

Thanks

Does the job!
