This can be either set to display in the &#8216;Base&#8217; group in which case it will appear on the signup page, or you can create a new group and have the field display on the members profile settings. You must also set up &#8220;latitude&#8221; and &#8220;longitude&#8221; fields. Then your users will be able to register their addresses&#8217; latitudes and longitudes, which will in turn populate them on the map.<\/p>\n<p>With the settings in the admin page you&#8217;ll be able to set the size of the map as well as various rendering options.
