Could Embed Google Maps field grab data from Location?

I have given up on Location + Gmaps + CCK + views + views_attach ect... for now. 20 Hours I can't get a map out these things on a node.
Location works great for getting data in, but getting that data back to show a map on node is just not working for me. (as a Field)
Embed Google Maps field is simple and works great. It would be awesome if it had an option to grab the coordinate data from the nodes Location info.
The block worked but the block on a page with comments just creates a new bunch of problems, unless there was some way to get the comments below the block....

There are quite a few settings to get a map to display. I certainly understand your frustration. Have you done all of the following:
- Check the display fields setting on your content type. Make sure your location field is set to display the data and a map
- Make sure you have geocoding enabled for the country you're using
- You have a Google Maps API code
