[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension is based on the Google Maps extension by Evan Miller. It has been modified to store location data in a database table, and the user interface to edit this data has been extended with the ability to add polygons. It is also possible to provide a map on the search result page, where search hits that have a location associated with them are shown.
