Hadn't thought of the point raised by LisaV.
Regrettably however it is all to easy to obtain someone's IP & use the same google-location tools outside of chess.com.
Removing the map solves nothing therefore for those primarily concerned with privacy/security.
A similar map with less-detail (closest main-City perhaps?) would still be a useful-feature.
Pretty much an echo of my sentiments...I can almost tell you make and model of the car in your driveway with google satellite view. All I need is a name and home town and state, I can figure out your address if I really want to find you, I don't need chess.com's map. We all need to be responsible for ourselves, Chess.com can't babysit all of their users.
