Geocode Factory 5 is a mapping component. It display third party items on maps. It's an evolution of the 100+ 5 stars reviewed Geocode Factory 3. The map creation is unlimited. Each maps can be customized for each instance via templating and CSS and we provide built-in options like sidebars, geolocation, dynamic radius search and many others!

 

With Geocode Factory Component, you can create an unlimited number of Google Maps (or custom maps tiles like Openstreetmap or any custom map).

Each map has its unique settings like zoom, zoom range, clustering, size, intro texts, radius search, locate me button (browser position for Android devices, iPhone, iPad, new browsers), etc...

Maps can also be assigned to it's individual menu item if desired or into a module position (free module available).

 

The bubble can contain any custom fields from the source component, an online status, avatar/image, streetview, distance from radius, waysearch, etc... The bubble is fully customizable with HTML statements, and loaded with a click through ajax to reduce the loading time.

 

Geocode Factory starting with version 5 introduces the use of plugins for specific extensions to extend the core component. Each additional plugin will create a gateway between Geocode Factory and third party extensions.

Sample: There is a Gateway for Sobipro, the Geocode Factory 5 can read Sobipro data and use them to display makers, geocode entries, filter Sobipro search results, ...

You can mix the markers from multiple third party extensions on the same map. The most part of gateway plugins allow to batch geocode all entries at once from backend.
