Resource Location field

[evillemez]

How about a location field (latitude & longitude), to allow performing location searches? Or, it could be an array of lat/long points to potentially specify a region.

It sounds like it could be useful, but I'm not sure that it actually would be. Thoughts?

@camman3d @gliese1337 Thoughts?

Could be useful. I'd use an array to indicate a series of ordered locations in sequenceable media (slideshows, video, and audio, basically, but maybe also extended narrative text).
We might want a pair of lat/long & radius or "zoom level" to indicate regions, or an option specify either lat/long or a named location. In which case we'd probably want a database of known named locations to cross-reference with lat/long so that you can search on either one.

Sounds like a lot of work to me. We can talk about it Wednesday and maybe add it to the list of Nice Features For Future Work.

The data in the db would have to be lat/long, but I know of a good library for doing lookups of named places to get lat/long, so that would actually be easy to filter in search.

I'll keep the issue open but remove the milestone, so we can deal w/ it later.
