Hi Serge, I tested this form control with the document types on Kentico 6.0 with the latest hotfix and it worked well. However on the 6.0 final I had the same error. The problem disappeared when I filled in any 'Default value' for the Google Maps Geolocator field (any text). Maybe it will help you too...

Sorry to hear that, I guess it's not compatible with Kentico 6 or that it's not compatible with user profiles. Unfortunately, I no longer work on Kentico, so I can't update this control.

Hi,
I try to use the component with the version 6.0 of Kentico an I have the error :
[Error loading the FormControl '']
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I tried to use it to customize the user profile.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the feedback! I actually worked on that this weekend, I will upload an updated version later this week. It will reinitialize the map if there is already a value stored in the database. It will also allow you to drag and drop the marker manually, in case Google Maps doesn't find an accurate enough location.

I think that will cover most needs, but I still have some ideas (and time) for improvement after that. So keep the suggestions coming.

Nice control. With some small modifications in the default GoogleMaps webpart to read the latitude and longitude from one field it is very usable. Just implemented it and works like a charm.
One remark: the map is empty if you click on the doctype after saving.

This is the first version, I have some minor improvements planned for a possible v1.1 release, so stay tuned!

If you feel there is anything missing leave a message here and I will consider it.

Thank you!
