Gmarker
Gmarker v2 is an integration of the Google Maps API (v3) for MODX Revolution which lets you easily display maps with markers on your site. It geocodes address information and caches the results.
You can style the results using SnazzyMaps to create beautiful maps that perfectly match the look of your site!

Features
GeoCoding Addresses
If your MODX pages contain location information (i.e. address, city, state, zip), then you can use the Gmaps MODX Extra to lookup the latitude and longitude of that location and store it inside Template Variables (i.e. custom fields) on each page. The Gmaps Extra implements the Google Maps Api (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/) to geocode address information into latitude/longitude information.
Easily Draw Maps
The Gmaps Extra includes the Gmap Snippet, a powerful Snippet that includes many options for displaying exactly the map you want.
Map Markers
Using Ajax or manual JSON values, the Gmap Snippet can draw markers on your maps.
