Any plan to allow the choice between geo locate and using the city in the user profile? An Admin toggle for one or the other. My forum is for a classic BMW model and members don't feel comfortable with their geo location visible.
And he shut down his forum at the starting date of the gdpr, it even made to heise.de

Beside the Moped Map it was Crispins User Map for Xenforo 1.5, which has many followers and urgently needs a successor. In fact, I don't want to / cannot switch to Xenforo 2.x because there is no good map without geolocation yet. Besides the requirements of DSGVO/GDPR, it simply doesn't make sense to use the provider IP as a location for users.
In my opinion the only right way is the one from Crispins Map: an additional location field and the admin decides if this or the core location field should be used for the map. With these two fields (additional field should be optional), a user can e.g. assign a paraphrase for his whereabouts and specify his true place of residence in the map location field (as he likes, country or city only, or town, or even street ...).
We found the need in several topics and I had also pointed out @ThemeHouse Lukas W the sense of a map addon without geolocation:

I am also looking for a map-addon without geolocation based on IP and opt-in (where members have to actively select if they want to be mapped.
We ask our users to enter (and maintain) their postal-code as a custom-field. If they provide a value, they are OK to be found. Today by a simple text/prefix search. Would be great if that would work on a (google)map, perhaps using a public-service that translates postals to geo-locations.

Also there was the possibility to cluster the pins, so the zoom revealed all the single pins.
So it "simply" would need to get "Location"-info from the user's profile and put that into the map. Would be the name or the city or the postcode or both.

Anyone planning or currently developing a map addon yet? There's currently nothing really available for XF2 beyond the free one. I've used several and my last one by XenFactory was perfect in XF1 but unfortunately they're not really developing addons anymore.
Doesn't really even need to have a huge amount of features, but location by input (at registration and in profile) and lookup via Google API with coordinates stored in the table along with text location is essential.
