it's great Capacities uses experiential grounding of notes and built timeline (calendar, date, time) into the core of the system!
– would be even greater if the second basic orientational system of our everyday is also included: space & place!
I know this is rather in the idea section as it's about a dimension rather than a simple function.
– but I remember DayOne, DevonThink, even some Evernote-apps implementing geo-reference (including map-view & find-in-map) to notes. and it adds a whole new level of meaning & practicability!
think of fotos from trips; think of different notes to the same place, or: area! think of geo-referencing information, think of, where have I taken that note... all that!
I think a) this would be super useful woth such a versatile, multi-use/-dimension joy as Capacities; and b) it would also fit Capacities philosophy as it simply mirrors / complements the whole thinking around time & dates.
please consider :-)

Thanks for voting on this ticket.
We also love the idea of maps and location information in Capacities and it will be added to Capacities eventually. Nevertheless, we see many other topics to be more important at the moment, so please bear with us.
Feel free to vote and comment to stay updated. It also gives us a better idea of how important this topic is.

Locations would really help with my notes/journaling. I've got meal/meeting notes that would be improved immensely by being able to tag either GPS coordinates or some kind of OpenStreetMaps or Google Maps integration.

I would love to see a map/location/waypoint feature in Capacities. I've been collecting locations of foraging spots on my ranch, and I'd like to keep track of where everything is and what I can find there. I'm using a GPS program currently but searching and sorting is very limited. Being able to copy lat/long out of Capacities and pasting into my GPS would be perfect.

Steffen Bleher thx for the constructive signalling here! 🌻 🙏
(I´ll surely continue pointing people from the forums here, when they raise the concern over there… ☺️ 👉 🚏)

I currently add an Open Maps link as a Map Link Property to my Locations object.
This is good, however, it is limiting. I can only look at places one at a time and there is no way to see if I have people/events of significance from nearby areas. It would be amazing if there could be some sort of integration with open maps, so rather than having a url that takes me to a map I could see a pin on a globe and follow that to a map that has my other locations showing.
As well as historical/geographical research like mine I could see this would be useful for people planning/recording holidays or business trips/meetings etc.

Location property

Is it possible to add an location property?
I like to keep track of restaurants, bars, places I visited.
But now we have to type out the location every time, or copy pasting from maps.
It would be great if there is a build in location search like so many companies use in their forms.
Thx,
Anton

We want to add this at some point in the future, but we currently we have concrete plans for it.

just made a proposal for a very modest but substantial step to including place logic on a very basic 'entry'-level: allow OSM embeds.
there should be some space for place in Capacities ☺️

Global Map

This idea is a pretty huge undertaking so I doubt it would be anything soon, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I would like to propose a global map that is similar to the global calendar function.
With the global calendar (at the top of the sidebar), if you reference a certain day from anywhere within Capacities, it will populate on the global calendar. This allows you to look at the one calendar and see all date information in one place.
Now imagine doing that with locations on a map. You could reference the location of a restaurant, workplace, meeting location, etc and when you looked at the global map, you could see all those places referenced across the app in one location. If you could filter these items, it would also open up a whole variety of functions.
For example, if you have a database of restaurants you love and have added various tags to, you could go to the map and filter just the restaurants that are in your city, have the “Gluten free” tag, are a sit down restaurant, and have 5 stars. This is just one example but I feel there could be a lot of benefit from having a visual way to explore data on a map that a table cannot provide.
