Okay, this might be a tricky question but perhaps a there is a simple answer.
When I view the world map on the events main page it only displays events on the world map. Groups are the same when I view the groups main page only groups appear on the world map.
However, this kind of feature is not the same for profiles. I have placed the world map (_bx_wmap_block_title_block_map_homepage) block in the Search People page but it displays all options: events, profiles, groups and ads. Is there a simple way of only display profiles on the world map when looking at profile type pages?
