Location has a feature, that I've found to be very popular, to allow users to place themselves on a map that generates a page of "Where our users come from".

Has anyone given any thought to the pros and cons of moving this from the profile page and into the user profile node i.e. location enable the user profile content type?

Views makes it very easy to produce a mashup of the user locations with teasers apearing in the popups on the google map page etc. This would work very nicely given all the great features in advanced_profile.

It's something I've thought about, but I'm not adding more features right now. See the project page for more info.

I am using node profile with location and Gmap module. The Con, any content type including the nodeprofile will show on the map/node page. I am still trying to figure out how to exclude that from being shown for privacy issues. Any ideas anyone?

Disabling access to the map/node page should be possible by overriding with a view but doesn't seem to work. Instead I set the width and height to zero of the gmap macro in the "Gmap locations" options. This is really a Gmap/Location issue rather than nodeprofile etc issue so best to post there.

Returning to the topic, I'm guessing that Views 2.0 support in D6 could provide views of location data in profiles, hence negating this issue entirely.
