Publishing Location Aware Social Activity Profile With KMaps

From Kmaps

Publishing Location Aware Social Activity Profile with KMaps is easy. Since the Social Activity Profile in KMaps is always Location Aware you have bind it to the specific location.

Use KMaps search to find the location that you want to bind your profile to. Location can be anything - your full home address, the address of a restaurant or a bar (e.g. if you want to meet people there), the street name within a city, just a zip code or city itself. Find the most specific location possible as it makes it easier for people to respond to your profile if they have a good sense of your location.

You can also specify the expiration date of your profile, for example make the profile active for just couple of days only. If you don't specify the expiration date then the profile will never expire and stay active all the time. The profiles with the expiration date will be automatically removed after the expiration period is over.

Let's say that you are sitting in a caffe and you want to look for other KMaps users. You can do so by publishing your Social Activity Profile on that location and set it to expire after some time.

Start by searching caffe address in KMaps.
