User Gmap in Panel?

Hi guys,

My head is halfway between dead and inside out.

Quick question: does anyone know where there's a good tutorial (text or vid) that explains contexts/relationships/arguments in panels?

Longer question: I'm trying to get slick profile pages on my community website and I'd love to have a gmap of user location as a mini-panel.

• I've got usernode running which takes the user location and is used by views for displaying all members on a big map
• I've got nodeprofile and 'advanced profile kit' installed which are responsible for the display of the user profile (about me/my buds etc).

I want to put a mini-panel in that page that shows the user location (from the usernode), but can't figure out how to do it.

This gets me close, I can feel it.. but it's just looking at the location info of the current node.

I need to get the panel to ask the userprofile to ask the usernode. Argh, struggling hard. Any ideas?

Cheers
