#Yii2 map input widget
##Description A Yii2 input widget which provides a user-friendly interface for selecting geographical coordinates via Google maps. Allows users to select geographical coordinates by clicking on an interative Google map embedded into you web-page. Also allows users to type in a place name to search for it via Google Places API.
The widget is composer-enabled. You can aquire the latest available version from the packagist repository.
##Demo A simple widget demo is available here. You may inspect the hidden input value via some web-developer tool (e.g. Firebug) to see how geographical coordinates are represented inside the widget.
