when a location is not a "Location"

steve.garrett says:
Use cases: I have an exam in Room 350, Guiness Hall; I have an appointment for a procedure in a hospital, complete with directions; I want to add phone numbers to the location, etc. Location as implemented can't be used. other options? a) use Notes. my response - why can't I use Location?? it's intuitive. Plus notes are hidden behind a tab. b) use tags. not practical in the cases above. plus I'll end up with a proliferation of silly tags.

Location as implemented means "map location." Why not call it that? and provide another entry for "Location details" that can be filled in when a task is created. Then I'll be sure to remember that the Organic Milk is not in the dairy aisle when I'm picking it up at Loblaws on Burnhamthorpe Rd :)

This idea is considered similar to "Support for virtual locations (e.g. 'office', 'kitchen')", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
