Google Maps for ExpressionEngine enables users to easily harness the power of the Google Maps API without spending a lot of time or money on the task. Getting the user experience and technical integration inline with your needs (or the client's) in the allotted time is very difficult. For less than a single hour of billable time, you and your clients can start working with Google Maps and gain an infinite amount possibilities.
Overview
The complete mapping and geolocation toolkit
Google Maps for ExpressionEngine is the most powerful geolocation and mapping toolkit available. It’s an ExpressionEngine module that contains a collection of tools that easily enables users to harness to power of the Google Maps API. In a nutshell, users can easily plot coordinates, routes, and regions on a map (or multiple maps) using the Fieldtype. Developers can easily create maps within templates using a familiar and memorable syntax AND without writing any JavaScript or PHP. No hacking. No workarounds. No mess or hassle.
What you get is scalable and maintainable code that your clients and users will appreciate using. Google Maps for ExpressionEngine can simplify your publishing templates and take the burden off your clients. The amount of time and money you would have to spend to duplicate these features would far outweigh the cost of a single license.
Maps & Markers
Adding markers to the map has never been easier using the Google Maps fieldtype and template tags. No PHP or JavaScript necessary.
Routes
Incorporating routes and directions has never been easier. No longer do you have to redirect your users to Google to display a simple route and directions.
Regions
Use the Google Maps Fieldtype to create complex shapes with custom colors and styles using drag and drop controls saving you literally weeks of development.
Streetview Panoramas
Incorporating street view panoramas can take a lot of time and cost clients a lot of money. Say yes to clients and still turn a profit.

Looking for v2?
Support for v2 has been officially removed. However, if you still want to use a free version of Google Maps for ExpressionEngine it is still available on Github. v2 and v3 are not compatible, therefor it’s highly advised you use v3 for production sites. There has been a huge amounts of improvements and features in v3 - you won’t be disappointed!

Very chuffed with the features of the latest version. Can’t wait to integrate even more feature-rich maps into our travel websites. FTW.

Having used v2 before, I was a bit surprised at the price of v3, but I needed a map feature and the budget allowed it, so I decided to give v3 a shot. Mere minutes later I had a perfect working solution. DAMN!
Custom placeholders/labels for fieldtype are a great plus non-English speaking countries!

This is an excellent add-on - it has to be the definitive Google Maps add-on for ExpressionEngine. So many features and options, great support, thorough docs & examples, and under constant development. I highly recommend it if you need any sort of mapping functionality on your ExpressionEngine site.

Really great addon. Nice cp interface. Awesome support from Objectivehtml. I needed to do something beyond the addon capabilities and they built the functionality into the addon in just a couple days!
