As designed [1.3] Location is always a link regardless of blank "Location Information URL"

[imthebest]

Location is always a link like this: http://www.myforum.com/misc/location-info?location=my+location
And when you click on that you're directed to https://www.google.com/maps/preview?q=my+location

This happens even when you have left blank the value of "Location Information URL" on the "External Service Providers" in the ACP.

No option is provided to not link the location. You would need to edit templates/code to remove any link like this.
