Gmaps Data has been deprecated in favor of the Maps Locator module. See https://addons.reinos.nl/maps-locator
With the Gmaps Data module your can convert your entries in searchable locations. The Module comes with a default 1 location fieldtype, but when you have installed the Gmaps Fieldtype, the module save the locations automatically from out your Gmaps fieltype. This way you can have multiple locations per enty.
Using the Gmaps Data module is very easy and very powerfull to create for example a store locator. There are 2 options to do that;
What those 2 options does, is just saving your locations to a readable format (latlng) in your database. Later we can just use any method, that comes with the Gmaps Data module to get your result out of the database with the assigned entry.
Because we are using geocoding to get the right latlng, there is a limitation. The Gmaps Module will try to handle this very good, but it is not always working due some strict rules from Google. So keep in mind, that when you have 100 addresses or more, there is a change that not all addresses are saved correctly. (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-limits)
Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements:
For every paid addon you need to validate your license in order to activate the module.
On a local environment, like *.dev *.local *.localhost *.test the license is valid for testing and building a new or existing sites.
For every other domain, you need to have a valid license.
Once installed, you will asked to enter your license key. When you entered a valid license you can hit the "Save license" button. This will start validating your license and will redirect you to addons.reinos.nl to login into your account. You can also register a new account in this process.
Once logged in, you are asked to use your current account or to login with another one.
Using the current logged in account, the server will check all info related to your license and once valid, it will redirect you back to your site where you see either a success message or an error message.
This module is using a license field to check if the license for the module is valid or not. On addons.reinos.nl you can check your license and add your valid domains.
In the Module CP you can enter then your license
When you enter a wrong license, the module will not work and it shows you an warning
Sometimes it happens that the license system says you have an invalid license. When this happens, make sure you have entered your domain url in your account, next to your license on addons.reinos.nl.
If this will not fix your license problem, please contact us on https://addons.reinos.nl/support
