Introduction:
Have you ever wondered where https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Orange,%20Ca was? Well now you can click on a users location and it'll bring it up in a new window via google maps.

Hack Requirements:
None

Original Version 1.0
Installation:
Find

Code:

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

Replace it with

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=$post[field2]" title="Find $post[username] on Google Maps!" target="_blank">$post[field2]</a></div></if>

UPDATE:
I've changed it from the complete location being a link, to an image of a globe before their location. The globe is now the link, it's a much cleaner install
