Can I use the Google Maps web part with Users?
I would like to plot the addresses of all of my Kentico users. The users will be aware of this so it wont be a privacy issue, and technically, they're organizations.

Anyway, is it possible to have the Google Maps Web part read from the list of users?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you can modify the web part behavior and using your custom code you can make it to read information from the DB directly.

Or, you can also create custom document type for the user pages and use custom registration form, where the user will add their location coordinates and then you will set the google maps web part to read the information from that document type. The disadvantage of this may be that every user will have separate document.

Best Regards,
