The Map People feature allows you to see, at a glance, where your congregation is located. You can find it under the People section, within the profile of anyone who has a recorded address.
This feature is particularly useful, for example, if you want to organize an event and want to see which area would allow your church to gather a larger group of attendees. It can also be beneficial when your church needs to organize visits to members because it allows you to see who lives in the same area.
For this feature to work correctly, please ensure that your member profiles contain a valid address, including a ZIP code. This allows the map to locate each person and display their location to you accurately.
To map people, follow the steps below:
Go to the People section in ChMeetings.
Select the people you want to map or select all using the checkboxes on the left.
Click More Actions > Map People.
You will now see a map window that shows pins pointing to where your selected people are located. The map also shows your location, highlighting it as “You are here.” You can use your mouse to zoom in and out or to scroll through the map. On the right side of the map, there is a list of people where you can see and perform the following:
Clicking someone’s name will animate the pin that corresponds to their location.
Under each name, you can see the distance between your and the member’s location.
