Who It’s For

• Businesses with dealer or stockist networks — help visitors find the right location by region, search, and map browsing
• Multi-location organisations — manage branches, offices, clinics, venues, service areas, or pickup points in one Joomla-native component
• Agencies building client sites — deliver a polished location finder with flexible fields, address/place search, territory markers, CSV import/export, marker styling, and no custom build required
• Franchise and service businesses — display contact details, logos, staff contacts, directions links, and custom location metadata
• Joomla developers — use a clean component/module package with template-friendly frontend output and structured administrator workflows

Key Features:

• Multiple Map Datasets - create separate maps for branches, dealers, service centres, stockists, events, or brands.
• Map-Scoped Regions - manage filter regions per map, with map filtering and map names in the Regions admin list.
• Address & Place Search - store formatted addresses, Google Place IDs, and address coordinates while keeping manual coordinate entry available.
• Multiple Markers Per Location - add territory, branch, or coverage-area markers under one parent location, with optional marker region and contact overrides.
• Unified Location Field Builder - manage built-in and custom fields directly on the map edit page; reorder fields, hide optional fields, copy custom fields to other maps, and add section breaks.
• Custom Fields - add extra location data per map and control whether fields appear on forms, cards, and popups.
• CSV Import & Export - import locations with preview, Append/Update/Replace modes, optional region creation, optional custom field creation, and useful warning checks.
• Search & Filtering - show search inline with a region dropdown or region buttons, plus optional custom field filters.
• Marker Clustering - group nearby markers and control clustering radius from menu item or module settings.
• Marker Styling - configure marker colour and size, with region-aware styling support.
• Card Grid Controls - choose the number of card columns and cap logo height for tidy frontend layouts.
• SEO Location Pages - publish individual location pages with structured data where location information is available.
• Data Health - audit and repair common data integrity issues after imports, duplication, deletion, or upgrades.
• Frontend Module - publish maps as full menu item pages or module instances in any Joomla module position.
• Responsive Frontend - maps, filters, cards, and popups are designed to work across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

How It Works:

1. Create a map dataset for the location directory you want to publish.
2. Add regions for filtering, such as Auckland, Canterbury, Wellington, or North Island.
3. Configure the map’s location fields, including built-in fields, custom fields, labels, and section breaks.
4. Add locations manually or bulk import from CSV.
5. Add address destinations and optional territory markers where one parent location needs several pins.
6. Create a MapLab Pro menu item or module and choose frontend display settings.
7. Visitors search, filter, browse the map, open popups, and view location cards or location detail pages.

Built for Joomla 5 and 6 with Joomla’s native MVC architecture and a bundled Leaflet-based frontend. MapLab Pro keeps location management in Joomla while giving site owners the flexibility usually reserved for custom-built store locators.
