I need to set the default node location to be the authors location. What is the best method to achieve this in the Drupal 7 version? Should I use php as a default value for the field itself and pull out the values directly by loading the current $user object? Or perhaps an add-on module that could use hook form alter?

I did see some solutions for Drupal 6 in this post - http://drupal.org/node/377600, I will be looking more carefully through them soon and report back on my progress, but If anyone has made progress on this for 7, or has a working solution I would love to see it / have it.

Thanks!!

The drupal 6 module linked to on this post http://drupal.org/node/377600 still works for Drupal 7, It may need some modifications but the functionality still works, so it's an awesome place to start.

It looks like you have a start. My personal approach would probably be to implement this as a one-off in a custom module that sets the default to the author's location.
