What does it do?
================

Locator is a frontend plugin to show a localization map of single or multiple stores. It uses the google maps api. 
You can localize stores in your neighborhood by selection of a desired radius of distance to the stores. 
If there is only one store, the extension shows the map immediately. If there are multiple stores, 
the extension shows either a list of stores with links to the maps or show a map with icons of all stores which can be set in 
the extension setup. Now you can also setup the extension to view routing (selection of routing view in the flexform setup) 
and you can show only the map of the first store in the database. 

When using with TYPO3 6.2.x you perhaps have to patch mh_treeview - see :ref:`Known problems`.
