location finder

Is there a way to have some sort of map of where everyone is located? I like the idea of meeting people in person if they are up for it. I get if people want to have privacy, but I was wondering if it was an option. I know we can indicate our location, but you have to see them post; I'd like a way of seeing who's nearby.

I'm sure the only option is if the users location is filled in and you contacted them in a private message to see if they are interested in meeting.
I met another member on here last spring that was going to be in my area after he reached out to me.

iphone has a feature to follow people you choose as long as they agree to be followed. Shows a map of where they are.
Better half and I use it.

Meeting other members can be fun due to common interests. Ddawg16 from L.A. came here to Eastern NC to work for a couple of weeks. We met after work for a beer, then that weekend he came over to my shop to hang out and helped me hang plywood on an interior wall while we had a good BS session. He ended up buying a tabletop mill/drill from another friend and member near me when we went to visit him. He disassembled it here and flew it back home in pieces with him.
There are 5 other GJ members who live within 45 minutes of here that I visit and communicate with regularly, and all have become good friends through the years.

Pretty much this.
