Since Google has changed their map policies, we have developed a new map alternative that is being used by thousands of users, OpenStreetMap. We are working also to introduce Bing maps, but due to some conflicts with the TinyMCE editor, it could not be contained in this version.

Another useful feature has been developed for business owners, the possibility of writing Joomla articles that will be shown on the main site. The feature will be activated by installing the premium plugin J-BusinessDirectory Content.

For the future, we will concentrate more on the design and user experience, for the 5.0.0 version. The new version will contain also some new attractive features that will be shared on the release date.
Bootstrap 4 will be also integrated and will replace current Bootstrap framework together with old javascript tools. 

Once Joomla 4 stable is released, we will also have a compatible version ready.
