  You can search for contacts using a profile from the Joomla front end, and permit mapping, but the map is very narrow, and you can't search for counties.
  
  Inspecting the page with a debugger shows that the code is expecting to see files under the civicrm folder which is not in the front end components/com\_civicrm folder.
