Google Maps: want to display locations of products

I have a site where I want to feature service providers instead of products. I changed product categories to service provider names and want to display locations (multiple) for the search or category products ( now stores or services ) for those providers. The map would be always present top middle column where the featured product is now displayed.

I see there are two modules "Google Map for product v2", which places a map on the detail page, with a single location, and "Google map" which allows inputs in the data base for store locations and displays them on a google map.

I am looking for a way to use the full functionality of the google maps api to connect to the lat long or address of the products (store or service provider location) in the category selected. Perhaps add an input in the product details in the admin for lat long? I want the map to display in the center top column of the page with the markers showing the service providers location on the map, and I want to have an maps info window displaying service provider address and information on selection of any single marker (standard google maps functions). I would like the map to pull the data from the selected category (product) instead of a manual input of addresses as provided for in the "Google map" plugin.

The Google map for product v2, places the map in a location close to what I want, (center) but displays only one data point, and does not seem to display the info window, and the developer has quit supporting the module, and has released it as a free module for others to work with. I would like the map to display at the top of the column with the service providers (products) showing below with all the normal product display attributes; (reviews, images, details).

I am more of a designer than coder, I would appreciate a pm and/or reference to someone who would be interested in doing this for me, or modifying the existing module or creating a new one.

Thank you.
