Store Locator Pro adds radius searches to Joomla maps

Location directories come up when a site needs more than a contact page: visitors may need to find the nearest branch, filter dealers by type, or get directions from a map. Joomla core can organise location information with articles, categories, custom fields and menu items, but it does not provide a native Google Maps directory with radius searching, marker management, geocoding or CSV-based location maintenance. A template override can change the presentation of a custom solution, but it cannot supply that missing data model and search process on its own. According to the listing, Store Locator Pro goes beyond core with a com_storelocator component, Google Maps search by address, city or ZIP code, categories and tags, marker clustering, CSV import/export, batch geocoding and a search log.

It is aimed at retail chains, dealerships, franchises and organisations with multiple service offices, particularly teams migrating a Sysgen Store Locator installation from Joomla 3. A small site with one address, or a site that only needs a static map embed, has little reason to add it. Developers building a bespoke directory may also prefer their own data and mapping stack.

The listing marks it as a paid download, but gives no price. It identifies Infyways Solutions as the developer, while describing the software as a JoomlaX-maintained fork of Sysgen Store Locator; the page shows 99 other extensions. Before purchase, check Google Maps API billing and usage requirements, migration details from Sysgen, import limitations, support and update terms, and whether the stated Joomla 4.4+, 5, 6 and PHP 8.1+ requirements match the target server. The listing does not explain those points or report any reviews.
