Migrate from Gmaps

Database

From 4.0.0 Maps Locator no longer contains the migration. Install the legacy package from the download (legacy/ee_maps_locator-v3.5.0.zip) first: in its CP section there is a page called Migration (only shown when the Gmaps Data module is installed).

Here you can migrate the database (locations and searches) and the Gmaps Data fieldtypes to Maps Locator. After the migration you need to uninstall the Gmaps Data module manually. Then update to the latest version, see Upgrading to 4.0.

Template

Converting the template tags is very easy, just search the name gmaps_data and rename it to reinos_maps_locator.

For example:

{exp:gmaps_data:search_form}

becomes

{exp:reinos_maps_locator:search_form}

important: before starting, make sure you make a backup of your old data, in case of failure.
