Hi all,
I'm developing the website of my college. In the user's profile (exemple: http://drupal.org/user/359204 ) I would like to show the location GoogleMap showing with a marker where does the user lives.

How could develope this?

I know there is the "Location block" and "Author block" but I don't need a block on a column, I want to show the gmap embebed on the profile.

I need help, please.

Blocks can be rendered in content as well as side bars (columns)

Jes I know, but, in the user's profile... there is no way to show the block "Author location". And this block has a title, and I don't want a title... only a small embebed map.

On the blocks configuration page there is a dropdown with content regions in it. Depending on which theme you use the options are different. Usually though 'content' is a choice. So yes it can be shown on a user's profile page. On the configure screen for a block you can set in the 'Page specific visibility settings' which pages it will appear on.

Now as far as the block title goes. Create a new block template for that block and simply remove the title.

Again: "Author location" block do not appears on the user's profile page, only in pages, stories... but not on the user's profile.

For this reason I'm asking: How can I add the Gmap showing the user's location with a marker on the user's profile?

Hmm, ok well you could just code a block to do it. Create a custom block, load a users info and then display whatever you like.
