The YOOmaps is a lightweight module for Joomla. It integrates Google Maps into Joomla in a very smart way. Joomla articles are used to display markers with content on the map. All Google Maps features like Zoom Level, Zoom Controls, Map Type and Minimap are fully controlled through the YOOmaps module configuration. A special highlight is the "Get direction" tool which allows visitors to find their route to your company. Route planning has never been easier!
Take a look at the documentation: How to set up the YOOmaps? There is also a video tutorial available.
