The features of the module

You can create maps, with markers and areas, of course. Advanced Sitecore Google Maps comes with a series of icons that can be used for markers on the map, but it is also possible to use custom icons, so your own iconography can be used.

For each marker, it is possible to assign an additional information and link to route planners etc.

When you create a marker, you type in the address and search using Google Maps Search. However, Google Maps does not always know the exact location of 1104 Mainstreet. Therefore, you can, of course with drag and drop, move the marker to the correct location of your premises.

Do you have a multisite Sitecore Solution?

As the only Map module for Sitecore, the Advanced Sitecore Google Maps module also supports multi-site solutions, where maps defined in different sites in the same Sitecore solution, does not become mixed up.
