BuddyPress Geo is a plugin that adds a searchable member directory based on
each user's location.  

== Description ==

BuddyPress Geo allows people on a BuddyPress site to search for other users
(or businesses) within a certain distance.  It leverages the Google location
API to convert ordinary, real-world addresses (i.e., Vancouver BC, Canada)
into latitude and longitude.  This functionality allows for both
location-based member directories or possibly even location-based business
directories.

This is a very early beta, so I imagine there will still be a few bugs.  It currently requires either the trunk version of BuddyPress or version 1.12.

This project was sponsored by Automattic.
