As we currently have a small number of users I have just been keeping the map up to date by hand. Unfortunately it does not look like there is a programatic way to use MyMaps (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40488333/google-my-maps-api" class="">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40488333/google-my-maps-api</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Perhaps there is a way to do this using the usual Google Maps API.
