says:I'm loving this locations feature. Before I go to a far away location, I like being able to look at the map to see if I have another task I can knock out while I'm there.
One idea: we should be able to assign multiple alternate locations to one task. For example, I need to donate some stuff to Goodwill, and I can go to three different locations near me -- would be nice to assign all three possible locations to that task so that if I have a different errand nearby one of those, the map will show that I have a possible Goodwill locations near there as well.
Another idea would be to use the "Business search" option already in Google maps somehow -- so I can assign all Targets or Costcos or Goodwills to a task. Or even all "Hardware Stores" if the Google search works for that.

Just jumped on here to see if anyone had posted about this because I'd love to see this feature as well. For instance, I have work that requires a computer to work on and I will probably do it either at home or at work. Having to pick one context or another is great, but it doesn't really work in this situation and I end up not bothering about it or assigning it to a meaningless "Computer" location in the middle of the north pole.

Oh, one last thing, I love to idea of a business search location as well!

+1 for this feature. I understand it's probably not as simple as it sounds to implement, especially from a UI perspective, but the end result would really make running errands in one part of town much nicer.

says:Thanks all -- the location feature is what drew me to RTM. Would love to see that feature developed. Would be great for the environment if we could avoid making multiple trips to the same location to run errands!

Yes, yes, please multiple locations per task!

says:Same here, I use locations frequently via the iPhone Web App. Whenever Im somewhere I tap the location Im at to figure out what I should be doing there. For example, if I need a broomstick from Home Depot Ill set the location as Home Depot. But I can also get a broomstick at Target, so I wish I could set a second location.
I did this with Todoist via tags, but I dont want to set locations and tags in RTM.

Hi there,
I don't know if it's the same thing I requesting, but it would something in the lines of grouping locations.
For example, it would be grouping some of the theaters I usually go to in a location @movies that would map tasks to all the locations on the group.
Another good example is gas stations and groceries...
Just the thought.
Keep up the great work,

Gets my vote. I'd love to be able to add multiple locations to a task. For example, some of the jobs I locate as "@home" I can also do "@office" when I have a spare 5 mins.

+1 on this!!
Does anyone have any workarounds to share??

moominman,
maybe you should reevaluate your task's location, if it's something you just need a computer or online connection you should try using a tag like, @pc or @web.

says:+1 on multiple locations as well. But as work around you could have a smart list that allows you to view the different locations of interest.

says:I'd like to resurrect this topic in light of the new iPhone app...now that we have Nearby, locations have become even more important and the ability to assign more than one location to a task would be incredibly useful in a lot of situations. Any chance of this feature being added in the near future?

It would even better if you could assign locations to tags. That automatically allows you to assign multiple location to tasks.
Even better if tags could have multiple locations.
For example @safeway could point to all the safeways in my area and @walmart to all the walmarts. Now in my shopping list I can tag an item with @shopping, @safeway and @walmart.

says:+1 Having some way to group locations together and assign the group of locations to a task would enable me to 'go grocery shopping' but not to a specific store. This would be a beneficial feature for me.

I would like to create an "online" location for the tasks that simply require a computer and internet connection (which is basically anywhere since I have a laptop and cell card). However I can't see how to create a "location" which doesn't have a specific coordinate/address. Is this impossible or am I just missing it?

says:I was even "surprised" to see that multiple locations is something that is not implemented and needs dicussion. For example I use to shop in several different supermarkets and want to be reminded of thing to buy in either supermarket - I think this doesn't sound to exotic.

says:When I chime in on these boards, I am usually suggesting workarounds. I do this not to suggest the requested feature is not desirable, but simply to suggest ways to accomplish something in the meantime, while we wait for the RTM team to enable the 43,000 features suggested here over the last few years.
Why not simply tag all of your groceries with the same tag (e.g., groc) and then have a smartlist that finds all tasks tagged groc? Then when you walk into a Safeway, a Stop'n'Shop, a Super G, or what have you, you summon up the groc list and your good to go? Right? Am I missing something here while we wait for multi-location location nirvana?
