GMap is a PHP wrapper that enables the integration of Google Maps Javascript API into PHP-based projects. It simplifies the usage of the API by providing a user-friendly interface to developers.
This software enables developers to create and configure Google maps with one or more locations. It also automatically centers and zooms maps with multiple locations to display all location markers. GMap allows you to customize maps by including directions or current traffic information in selected cities. You can also add HTML to the marker info windows and customize marker icons for the entire map or for individual locations.
GMap can be used with the PHP ZIP Code Locator to generate maps for your location search results. It includes a geocoding function to obtain information such as latitude and longitude for any address string recognized by Google. The software requires PHP 4.3 or higher and a free Google Maps API Key for the website directory you plan to run it in.
GMap's recent release included several updates such as improved performance for large marker sets, moving geocoding requests from the server to the client browser, and adding circle overlays. Additionally, a map overview and Google Bar controls were recently added to enhance the overall user experience. GMap is a reliable and comprehensive tool for website developers who want to incorporate Google Maps and driving directions into their web pages with ease.
