Plugin Description
BP Checkins is a plugin that uses HTML5 Geolocation API to publish checkins or places in a BuddyPress powered website.
In activity Component :
A location marker in the top right of the activity status box will show. On click, the browser will prompt the user for permission before detecting and braodcasting the location.
Once the check-in is posted to the activity stream, it will have its own permalink. On click, it will position the user on a map.
Members can also visit each other’s profiles to see a map of the user’s checkins at the top of the page.
Many thanks to Sarah Gooding for her article on it on wpmu.org
