Why choose Ultimate Member User Locations Addon
This addon turns your member directory into a visual map, improving discovery, matching, and engagement for communities, directories, and marketplaces.
Key features
- Profile & registration location fields: Add a dedicated user-location field so members can set their address using Google’s autocomplete or a map pin.
- Auto-detect location (opt-in): Users can click the pin icon and grant permission to share their current location for faster setup.
- Member directory map: Show an interactive map above your directory; results update as visitors filter or move the map.
- Location search: Add a location search field so visitors can find users by place, bounds, or radius.
- User clustering: Combine nearby members into clusters for cleaner maps at wider zoom levels.
- Avatar markers & profile cards: Display user avatars on the map; clicking a marker opens a compact card with the name and selected profile info.
- Drag-to-find: Allow people to pan/zoom the map and refresh results based on the visible area.
Smart search & sorting
- Radius or visible-bounds search: Choose the algorithm that fits your use case—search within a radius from a point or within the currently visible map area.
- Distance field & sorting: Add a “Distance” field and enable sorting by nearest users to surface the most relevant connections.
Flexible map display & markers
- Marker types: Use avatar markers, role-based icons, or classic Google markers to match your brand and UX.
