Features

GeoCoding Addresses

If your MODX pages contain location information (i.e. address, city, state, zip), then you can use the Gmaps MODX Extra to lookup the latitude and longitude of that location and store it inside Template Variables (i.e. custom fields) on each page. The Gmaps Extra implements the Google Maps Api (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/) to geocode address information into latitude/longitude information.

Easily Draw Maps

The Gmaps Extra includes the Gmap Snippet, a powerful Snippet that includes many options for displaying exactly the map you want.

Map Markers

The Gmarker Snippet can also be used to drop markers onto your map. This is useful if your site contains many location records (e.g. pages for multiple stores), and you want an easy way to display them all.
