@Roi you got your wish … this was admittedly quite an important one.
User Map will no longer serve data if any of following is true:
User is not logged in and hide_user_profiles_from_public is active.
Plugin setting location_user_map is OFF
Site’s enable_user_directory is OFF
User Map link in community section should no longer show in those circumstances either.

Oh wow great, thank you so much! I cannot believe that this never popped up before and was asked.
I will try tonight and update the addon.
Don’t get me wrong and think that I am greedy and inappropriate: But is it also possible to hide the Location user post if activated along with the user map as well for guests and search engines?
I think this means it was just a setting to add an icon to the Topic List (via “TopicStatus”) … I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just handle this via the new Topic List location label and handle its visibility via CSS?
Therefore I think it’s redundant and probably all related code should be removed?
I just started using this plugin so I can’t speak to others who might have been using that setting, but I could see why one might want a more subtle indicator that there is location rather than the whole location label. But I was able to get the same thing after tinkering with some CSS (hint float: left) so yeah, likely redundant.
