I am sorry if this might ba an old issue. But I tried to find a solution via search but got even more confused than I was in the beginning.
What I'd like to achieve is to display the location of a user via a map in his (content) profile.
I have gotten the module to show a map on the profile page in edit mode. The user can either enter his coordinates or click his location on that map. Both ways work and the location is being shown correctly in edit mode.
What I still do not understand is how to actually make the map appear on the profile page when viewed by other users as well? All I have managed thus far is to get a link to google where the map is being displayed correctly. However I hoped I could have this map within the profile itself and not via an external link.
Futhermore the location does not display in the users map either.
Best would be if there was a solution for content profile with the cck location field. However any solution would do. I am lost with all the different options of the modules and the hundrets of forum posts about it (yet not no simple instructions anywhere it seems). I anyone knows how to do this step by step I'd be very thankful.

Yes, this is a bit confusing. The user map display is only for native non-cck locations that are attached to *users*. Since you are using content profile, your location will appear on the *node* map. You can probably go duplicate or edit the view that creates the node map and tell it to filter by content type and pick only to display content profile type locations.
Try that and post back.
Also adding a tag, because I think I saw another issue similar to this one earlier...

You're using the Content Profile Modules: This module build user profiles as node - now you need to install the Node Map Module http://drupal.org/project/nodemap
Please try and let post back...

Ah, here is the other issue. #279824: Possible to have the user's location show (via Gmap) within their profile page? It has a link to a forum post with php code to put in a block to display it.

Hi Golem
Same issue on http://drupal.org/node/205811 and http://drupal.org/node/353929 (there are more but closed or moved or considered copies).
just in case you hadn't seen it.
You and me are not the only ones with this problem.

same issue. using gmap, locations, APK, panels, etc..
it should be relatively simple you would think, I'm subscribing in hopes of finding an answer as well. It is a much needed feature.
