Meta-locations (e.g. 'Supermarket' might include multiple local grocery stores)

jonathan.cederberg says:

I have tried to find out if this is possible, but as far as I have been able to tell, it is not. The problem is that I want notifications at several locations for the same task, This is not possible, but could easily be remedied by adding the notion of meta-locations.

A meta-location would just be a list of locations. I often find myself wanting to put several locations on a task, for example the location @foodstore would be very handy for general food-related errands.

I now realise I posted in the wrong forum. Could the admin please move this topic to the tips and tricks forum?

I always thought this would be great. Same reason. If something I need for the house could be bought at Home Depot or Lowes, I could get alerted when I'm near either.

Big time +1. I think this should be the very next thing RTM works on. It would really set RTM apart from other task management software.

This is the only thing I'm actual missing when using RTM. Anything else is just a would like to have. This I need to truly use RTM for everything.

At first, this seemed like a feature too large in scope and variables to be possible, but then I had an idea: We already define and label our own locations - but add the ability to group or tag locations into categories, and it would be good if one location could belong to more than one category. Then, we could have a "Home Depot" group that would work for the store closest to work, or the one near home, etc. Home Depot locations could also belong to a more general "hardware store" category. A grocery store tag would work for all the ones we define in our area. Then the task needs to be able to store more than one location (based on the categories) to trigger alerts.

+1 for vallynn's implementation idea.
Currently I use tags that start with @ as a workaround (i.e. @grocery), but having the benefits of locations would make it much better. I could assign the grocery location to the handfull of grocery stores I usually go to (near work, near home, etc)

I am just starting with locations, and this feature would be great.
