What Is a TYPO3 Map Extension?

Map Extensions for TYPO3 are plugins you can install on your website that make adding a map quick and easy.  This can help you expose and pinpoint the locations to more customers:

An example of a website with Google Maps,

Also, adding a map to your contact or about page provides advantages from a design perspective. A colorful, interactive map is much more interesting and eye-pleasing than your address in plain text.

You can also use them to emphasize your customer base or global footprint, highlight specific regions to promote social awareness about a relevant topic, provide directions to an event venue, and more.

Technically, you don’t need an extension to add a Google Map to your TYPO3 site. The Google Maps API provides an embed code that you can insert in a TYPO3 page or post via the Editor itself.

However, many map extensions for TYPO3 come equipped with advanced features you don’t get with a manually embedded map. In addition to single or multiple locations, interactive map plugins provide:

  • Filter and search options
  • Clusterization
  • Street views
  • Custom icons and markers
  • Animations
  • Zooming and panning
  • And more

Using a TYPO3 Map Extension for TYPO3 also makes it easier to reuse and update maps across your website. This eliminates the need to create a new page every time you want to add your map somewhere else on your website. Also, if you want to update or change the visible locations on your map, you won’t have to manually replace the embedded code.
