Hi Rakesh,

You could for example built a custom module to store the locations (Title, Description, GeoLocation)

Then you could create a custom widget that initializes a Google Map and the markers. You can do this all from javascript and the only thing you should take care of is to add a array of markers, based on your GeoLocations.

Here is a sample code on how to build an array from code:

private void BuildMarkersArray(IQueryable<ProjectItem> projects)

var sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.Append("var markersArray = [];");

sb.Append("markersArray = [");

foreach (var item in projects)

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(item.ProjectLocation))

// Construct the infowindow content

string content = BuildInfoWindowContent(item);

sb.Append("['" + item.ProjectLocation + "', '" + content + "'],");

sb.Remove(sb.Length - 1, 1);

sb.Append("]");

// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.

ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;

Type cstype = this.GetType();

string scriptImages = "ScriptImages";

var sbImages = new StringBuilder();

sbImages.Append("var imageIcon = '" + Page.ResolveUrl("~/Assets/Images/gmarker.png") + "';");

sbImages.Append("var imageShadow = '" + Page.ResolveUrl("~/Assets/Images/gmarker-shw.png") + "';");

if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, scriptImages))

cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, scriptImages, sbImages.ToString(), true);

// Define the name and type of the client scripts on the page.

string scriptName = "LocationList";

// Check to see if the startup script is already registered.

if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, scriptName))

cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, scriptName, sb.ToString(), true);

You can find the documentation of the Google Maps API (javascript) here:
code.google.com/.../tutorial.html

If you need any more help, let me know.

Regards,
Daniel
