Map/Location View for Location Objects or Address Relations (Journaling and Travel)

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Map view of visited places or locations related to journal entries.

This is a common feature in journaling apps and one that I’ll miss when I move my journal entries to Anytype.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

A new view where set entries with locations are seen in an embedded map.

A pin locator icon or a cover photo (in the case of journal entries) goes on top of the location. Places without specific coordinates can be placed in the middle of the city or country.

A number on the top-right of the photo/emoji indicates how many objects/entries are assigned in that location.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Besides a useful journaling view, other use cases would be:

  • Checking the location of your contacts
  • Documenting places where you can buy supplies
  • Location view of entries in a research set
  • View of places to check out when traveling

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

None.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

Similar to Locate objects on a Map view, but I created it as a separate request because I don’t think it’s necessary to add graph links and have specific coordinates. I imagine there’d be instances where I can only input the city name or country instead of the exact address, and I’d still want to register it as a location object/relation and see it in Map View. (But feel free to merge if it’s too similar.)
