Hey Daniel,
Decided to purchase pro version to take advantage of the K2 Plugin as I am trying to make a Pinterest Boards style layout of images on a map.

At this stage, K2 and custom field are setup per instructions and the map is displayed with the marker into the K2 item, perfect.
Next, I wish to show a map of all markers from one K2 category, either placed into the K2 Category description or a module, placed above the K2 category.
I do not want to create a dedicated menu link to the Hotspot Map View as I still wish to show the k2 items in the k2 category view. This allows easers to find images via location on the map, or scrolling through the introimages in the category view.

I thought to use the No Number content anywhere.
Created a hidden menu link to the Map View, to get the URL.
Created a custom HTML module with the custom code to display the content from the menu link. The module loads, but the map does not.
My URL in the menu link is

 index.php?option=com_hotspots&view=hotspots

My URL on the front end, is

map#!/catid=1

and loads the map.
I have tried adding both into the recommended

{component index.php?option=com_hotspots&view=hotspots}

or

{component map#!/catid=1}

neither of which work,

<!-- Components Anywhere Message: The component cannot be placed because an invalid URL is given or the page timed out. -->

PS, other content and modules anywhere that are setup across the site function.

Can anyone suggest an alternative way to display the map of all markers in a module or injected into content?
