This is not a question (I don't count "I wonder if anyone can help?", of course :-). What did you try and what is the problem?

You will need to put a web control of some description into your app to display a google map - the Google API is well documented with many many examples of how to use it, so I suggest you start by developing your web page that displays the map given a set of locations.

I did it by writing the required locations to a DB table using a guid as the id, then passed the Guid to an ASPX page which showed the map with locations.

Passing the data back to the windows form proved less trivial, and I ended up using a web form for map integration - but still hosting the page inside my windows app.

It can be easily done by using GDS Google Map WinForms Control. Just add the control to your WinForm application, then response to the MapMouse events.
