Connecting FSHOST to Google Maps

I have noticed that some VA's websites have a Google Map connected to their Multiplayer Server showing the locations and such of their pilots.  Is there an application or widget available for this, or how is this accomplished?
Thanks in advance for your help and input.

....there are one or two Flight Sim Sites who use Google maps to indicate which Pilots are on line at the time.....

.... but the only GPS Radar Map indicating the position of all Pilots in a Multiplayer Session in real time, using FS Host, as far as I know, is "FS Navigator" for FS 2000/FS 2002/FS 2004.

The details will appear in the "FSHost Server Status" browser (when populated).

Go to the chocolate software forum (author of FSHost) and ask there..... you likely will get more definitive information.

best,
