<p>BuddyPress Maps is a component that allows to find and display location markers on a Google Map.<br />
It includes several plugins to work with BuddyPress and its API has been coded to allow others plugins to use the component.</p>
<p>You can enable or disable those plugins :<br />
* Profile maps (for saving the user’s location)<br />
* Members map (a map with all the user’s location)<br />
* Friends map<br />
* Groups maps<br />
* Custom markers</p>
<p>There is an option for the groups maps to allow displaying member location markers, custom group markers (if you need to give your group a specific location) that the group admin can add; or both.</p>
<p>You can also use the plugin’s API to add maps to your own plugins.</p>
