Not sure if this is possible, maybe Google offer this, but would there be a way of having a world map where members can pin-point their location?

Would be nice to put a geographical context to members etc.

Yes. Personally I've found the purpose of the 'Location' field in our profiles completely baffling.

Don't be a twat all your life, Luke. Seeing everyone's locations in one hit is quite obviously the objective.

Good man Marksi, I'll take a look now.

Hyma did mention metropol uses google analytics, and that does a summary of site visits on a map.

Um, how do I add a point on the map?

Sorry if it's obvious - 28 hours in work across two days has fried my brain.

On the left click Edit, then you can add points to it. Then click Done.
