Add a module which displays location from an address, in a 'find us' section I was thinking to a google maps intregration.

Ongoing since last week-end.

Some modules already exist with this behavior : google map in a module. If you want to have a look at those links.

http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/embed-google-map https://github.com/jmosmap/plugin_googlemaps/releases

Which function would you like ?

Do you want to use something like this, that already exist ? or do you have in mind particular behavior so that we can not use such modules ?

Well, I'm not sure about this.

Both those module enable maps in article content, which might be overkill, and not that easy to use for an end user...

I was thinking about some custom module, which renders a featurette displayed in front page and actually carries a map, using google maps iframes or javascript API (whatever, I tend to say iframe to avoid script inclusion).

• https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/?hl=fr
• https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/start?hl=fr

This module may have arguments like :

• API Key
• Latitude
• Longitude
• label

What do you think about that ?
