Group Locations

Group locations allow you to create, manage and assign a location to your group.  The location can be physical address OR simply a name, such as “The Youth Center”

Locations can show an exact location on a map OR can show a radius, to help give your potential group signup a approximate location, but still obscure the exact address and maintain privacy for those locations such as a person’s

Example Exact Location

Example Radius
