As part of the registration process we ask people to give us there location, city and state or similar for other countries. The map software that I have seen will get you down to the house. From a security point of view I don't want that, city and state is fine with me. Some people have a problem giving that information.

This has been tried on other site without much success, hard to get people to fill out the information. It is hard enough to keep the site clean without having something like a map showing where everyone lives. I agree that it is nice to know who is in the area but I don't think it is a good idea to have it as part of the site because of security concerns. Over time you get to know the people that live close to you.
