The GeoMapping module allows you to display content on a map. It uses the Google Maps, which is a free service provided by Google available at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/gallery/mapsAPIProducts.html.

 

This module can be used for many scenarios when you need to display a map:

- show your offices

- show your store

- show your partners

- show real estates you offer

etc.

 

You can use it to display virtually any content that has a location. The only requirement is that you tag your content with longitude and latitude.

 

Google Maps Key

 

The Google Maps system requires a unique key for every domain where you display the maps. Kentico CMS contains keys for localhost and 127.0.0.1. When you move your web site to a real domain, you need to get your own key at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html and set the Google maps key value in the Google Maps web part properties.
