New Features – Magento Store Locator
A landing page for Google maps is created on your website that basically has the following key elements;
GMaps: section displays stores on GMaps with markers. These map markers are customizable such as their text & image.
Search block for stores: customers can search any store by products or by address.
Vertical slider: this slider shows store information in a list view format. It shows information such as address, distance, contact info and a read more link for more information.
