GeoMapping overview |
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.
How to get a longitude and latitude for a given place
You can use the on-line service that allows you to enter the country, city and street and it shows you to the longitude and latitude.http://world.maporama.com
