     5 
    56 1.  Due to '''qPloneGoogleMaps''' you can set up the latitude and longitude of your site objects and have their maps exhibited on your site. 
    6  2. Any object with the latitude-longitude 
     7 2. Any object with the latitude-longitude has an additional [http://quintagroup.com/services/plone-development/products/google-maps/school-portlet-map.png/ map portlet] displaying this object. This portlet, in turn, has a template '''"Large screen"'''. If you click on the [http://quintagroup.com/services/plone-development/products/google-maps/school-portlet-map-large-screen.png/ '''"large screen"'''] below the portlet, you will be able to see the full-size map of the page with its description. 
     8 3. The folders containing objects with the latitude-longitude parameters have an additional display view - '''"maps view"''', which gives an opportunity to see the full-size map with all these objects. 
     9 4. There is a new content type '''"Map"''' which can have other content types - '''"overlays"'''. It enables the positioning of different objects on one map showing them with the markers of different colours.
