By using article overview map you can create map which contains placemarks for your articles, and allow to go to article details from your map. Or you can just simple display map in an article by its attributes

Article Fields

In joomla you can create your own fields and enter it values when you create or edit map.

First of all we need create Field Group. All fields for extension we will associate with this group.

To create Field Group in administration panel go to Content->Field Groups.

Create new group

Save it. Now we have our group with name Plcemarks

Lets create fields.

Create first field Lat for latitude

The same way create field for longitude.

We don't set it required because not all articles can have this attributes.

The result list is

Article attributes

Go to article details. You can see new tab with name Placemarks

Enter values for latitude and longitude.
