Only just found this question. Not really sure what you asking.
coordinates dont have to be uploaded to a server. Just use the coordinates in the javascript directly. Wherever you display the Google Maps API. Persumably you have a webbrowser embedded in the desktop app, and output some html in that browser - that includes JS to make a map. Include the coordinates there.
