# Adding geolocation to user profiles

 * I’m looking to provide my users with the ability to put a pin on a google map
   indicating their location (only their location) as part of their user profile.
 * Are there plugins that allow for this geolocation ability? I know wordpress.com
   has something similar for profiles and posts but I was wondering if anyone in
   the community has created a plugin for WordPress that does something similar.
 * Thanks!

 * A geolocation plugin sounds a bit overkill, unless your authors are roving around
   the globe! If that is the case then you’re probably better to geocode each post(
   [http://wordpress.org/plugins/geolocation/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/geolocation/)).
   Otherwise, just get the author to type their location into their bio.

 * The only thing we really need geolocation for is the user bio. Addresses don’t
   work well where I am so having the map would be useful.
 * I just need a way for users to place themselves on a map that is visible only
   to themselves but have all locations visible to administrators.
 * Basically instead of an address on their user profile, they add their actual 
   location.
