Description

Hey there,
this app is very nice and useful - thank's for this :-)

While starting using the app it came to my mind that it might be cool to also have a standard layer that shows the location of the other users depending on their location information in the profile.
We want to use Nextcloud to stay in contact, share things, etc. But due to our job everyone is changing location frequently. Therefor it might be cool to see the current location of the other users on the map :-)

Not sure if this is possible, but normally the needed information to show user locations should be available in their profile... Not the "live" one, the one that every user can fills in the profile-field "Address" so that everyone also can decide to share or not - if not just leave empty.

Greetings from Germany
