Component Redirect ?

Hi,
I know this isn't a SEF Advance issue (or at least I think it isn't), but I wondered if anyone knew how to redirect an entire Joomla component?

I was using Joomap but it didn't give me what I needed so I uninstalled it and now use Xmap, which is great, HOWEVER, I have not got over 750 404 errors in my Google webmaster tools eg:

www.therealdr.com/option,com_joomap/view...,729/Itemid,716.html

Ideally I need to do a permanent redirect from com_joomap to com_xamp or something similar to remove the 404 errors.

Do anyone have any thoughts on how to do this or am I going about it all wrong ? I would welcome any ideas anyone amy have.

Thanks,

Pete

You could use .htaccess to redirect all requests for old URLs to new ones. I can't give you exact code because it takes time and testing. Search this forum for "htaccess redirect" or search internet for examples.
