Requirements

SilverStripe 3.1 or greater. SortableGridField

Notes

Heavily re-written version of GoogleMapsBasic module.

This re-write makes use of the V3 engine for Google Maps API, plus it also allows for multiple maps to be embeded on a page that can be acessed in the same manner as any other object set.

Now you can add your account API Key in your SiteConfig. If you do not add a key, maps will still work, but with a limited number of requests.

This re-write also makes use of the gmap3 jquery plugin.
