As last of our module applications for SobiPro 2.0, we released today the SP-GeoMap Module.

The SP-GeoMap Module for SobiPro allows to show entries of a SobiPro directory (section) on a geographical map in a Joomla module position. A customizable info window using a XSLT template within the module can be used to show data of the specific entry.

The module comes with several features such as:

• Entries close to each other (depending on the zoom level) can be clustered.
• Initial zoom level and start point coordinates can be set.
• The map can be automatically centred to all shown markers.
• Entries with same coordinates are grouped to one info window.
• The info window can be shown on click or hover.
• The content of the info window can be styled via XSL template and CSS.
• Roadmap, satellite, terrain, hybrid views are available (Google map only).
• Several map controls can be used on the map.
• A custom marker can be used.
• Entry specific custom marker can be used (at the moment for Google map only).
• Category dependent custom marker can be used (at the moment for Google map only).
• Only entries of the currently visited category page can be shown on the map.
• Only entries of a specific category can be shown on the map.
• Several map modules can be used to show different content.
• The search results on SobiPro's search page are shown on the map.
• The map and entries will be loaded first after the site has been loaded for performance.
• The module works with SSL.
• The module works on responsive/mobile sites.
• An API key can be added for Google maps.

Note: Google Maps and OpenStreetMap + Leaflet are supported.

More information are available in the Changelog of the module application.
