Google Maps Pin Address for Magento 2

• Logged in user can add the address in the address book with the help of Google Map.
• On the checkout page, the user can fill data related to the address with the help of Google Maps.
• This module works for both guest users and customers.
• The admin can set the Google map API key.
• Admin can set the default longitude and latitude for the map.

Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. The extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder. You need to transfer this app folder into the Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) root directory on the server as shown below.

If you have downloaded the module from Magento Connect then unzip the respective extension zip and then GoogleMapPinAddress(module) name folder inside your Magento root directory as app/code/Webkul/GoogleMapPinAddress and then move all module’s files inside /app/code/Webkul/GoogleMapPinAddress/ folder in Magento root directory.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento 2 root directory.

First command- php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Second Command – php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Third Command – php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After running the commands, you have to flush the cache from the Magento admin panel by navigating through->System->Cache management as shown below.

For the multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store->Configuration->General ->Locale Options and select the locale as German (the language into which admin wants to translate his store content).

If a user wants to translate their module from English to German then they need to follow the path app/code/Webkul/GoogleMapPinAddress/i18n in their unzipped Google Maps Pin Address for Magento 2 folder and will get a CSV file with name “en_US.csv”. Now they will rename that CSV as “de_DE.csv” and translate all right side content after the comma in the German language. After editing the CSV, save it and then upload it to the path app/code/Webkul/GoogleMapPinAddress/i18n where they have installed Magento2 on their server. The module will get translated in the German Language. It supports both the LTR and RTL languages.

The user can edit the CSV like the image below.
