Locator for SL Google Map for ExpressionEngine

Features

Locator is an application that adds new opportunities of searching locations in a set radius from the start point. You can make your Store Locator, Places of interest Locator in the region, etc.

Requirements

EE1 - PHP 4+ with allow_url_fopen directive, ExpressionEngine 1.6.5+, SL Google Map ext.

Installation

To install the new field type please follow the simple instructions below:

Download the Locator for SL Google Map archive and extract the files.

You need also add a couple additional lines to your SL Google Map or download version with modifications from my examples (it's only .php, your still need to download package from eepro.co.uk):
