record payment locations

[GoogleCodeExporter]

this feature enhancement proposes to record the location of each payment. for 
example, in the "send bitcoin" view there is an additional check-box "record 
location". when clicked, the best available gps location is stored together 
with the payment in the local database. then, it uses google maps (or something 
else like foursquare?) to look up the place where this payment happened.
the user sees a list of possibilities and selects them - if there are already 
existing places, the last nearby selection should be on top as a "favourite" or 
something like that.

now the interesting part: in the main window, there could then be a 4rth list, 
which shows locations and the total amount of spending that happened there.

maybe it's also fine, to skip the gps part (or make it optional), and just 
enter a string as a location. all those locations should be in a ID<->string 
database and the transactions should reference to this ID.

background of this is a recent hackathon for mobile payments i attended. the 
winning app did exactly this for "traditional" mobile payments ... so it seems 
that there is real demand for this feature.

Wow, I really would like to see something like this, but instead using Google 
Maps or foursquare, I think you should use Openstreetmap because of free data. 
I already mapped some places that accept bitcoin with key payment:bitcoin, as 
described here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:payment
I really would like to see a way to show/filter on a map or list, all places 
mapped on openstreetmap that have the key payment:bitcoin.

If there are NOT already existing places, could be opened a window with some 
pre-definied fields where the user could fill the place information and that 
the place accept bitcoin. Then the data will be sent to www.openstreetmap.org

If developers going to use OpenStreetMap, then correcting missed places 
(submitting update, adding new) may be implemented by interacting with 
application like 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.bmaron.openfixmap which 
already know how to do this.

Wow.

Someone implemented a map that use openstreetmap data, showing places with key 
payment:bitcoin
