“A long-awaited set of tools enabling the use of the Google Maps service with the products of our company has been released. This solution can be implemented on the existing projects as well as the new sites. Bitrix Site Manager Google Maps service is highly functional and effective. We plan to actively develop this service and continue to offer a lot of different tools for website creation and management.”


The Google Maps technology has changed the ways of communication. People from different generations are now using Google Maps for business and leisure. Now, this service is available to all users of Bitrix Site Manager. A special web interface makes managing maps as a “piece of cake” ;). Within a few minutes, any user can add a location and display it on their portal. No programming knowledge is required – just click and go!

The new tool allows the website owners to place any map on their site, show locations and directions, and even add pictures with detailed descriptions. Companies with subsidiaries and partners can demonstrate their presence across various geographies.

Imagine that your clients can now browse a map to locate the closest company representative. This will greatly reduce the sales cycle for any product or solution.

As a developer you’ll have an access to the Google Map component open-code that will allow you to customize this service to fit your company business needs.

The Bitrix Site Manager components and the Maps API very well complement each other. Using the components and Maps, the Bitrix Site Manager users can not only find, view and mark a street or house, but also create their own powerful applications, add video to objects on the map, place markers of different shapes and photo markers, and much more.

The new functionality is included in all of the Bitrix Site Manager editions. Users with an active update subscription period can update their systems through the Single Click SiteUpdate technology and enjoy the new product feature.

You can test the new functionality online in the Bitrix Site Manager Virtual Lab or download the 30-day Trial versions of Bitrix Site Manager.
