Add places to the map

Switch Places on

Places is off until you switch it on. Open Community settings, then Features, switch on Places, and press Save changes. A Places pin then shows in the menu.

Pins close together join into a bubble with a number. Zoom in to split them up. The search box finds places, members and cities.

Add a place

Admins and moderators add places straight away.

1. 1

   Open Places

   Open Places from the menu, then press Add a place under the map.

2. 2

   Where is it?

   Type the Name and the Address, then press Find. If the pin isn’t quite right, drag it to the door. The Time zone is filled in by the first event held there, or you can pick it now.

3. 3

   Tell members about it

   All optional: About this place, a Photo, what it is (Meetup spot, Member perk, Venue or Other), a Website, a Phone, the days it’s open, and Anything new there?, which shows as a What’s new tag until the date you pick. A Member perk also asks for the perk, like 10% off for members.

4. 4

   Who can see it?

   Everyone, or A membership. Then press Add place.

To change or take down a place later, open it and press Edit or Remove….

What members do, and their suggestions

When members open a place, they can tap Directions to open it in their maps app, call or visit the website, and tap I go here so others see them under Members who go here. Events held at a place show under Coming up here.

Members see Suggest a place instead of Add a place. Their suggestions wait for you: choose Pending above the list to see them, oldest first, then press Approve or Not now. Turning one down doesn’t tell the member.

Members can also choose Show me on the map, so people nearby can find them. Only their city shows, never their address.
