Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for blurring location information for an entity. The system may be configured to receive a location display setting comprising a condition and a blur level to apply to location coordinates, receive location coordinates for an entity, determine whether the condition is satisfied based on the location coordinates, and, if the condition is satisfied, report location information for the entity in a mapping interface based on the location coordinates for the entity and the blur level.
