notehub devices will contain loc_* fields but not all devices will. Would be nice to have this information for any lat/lon to aid in searches.

We had some conversation on this topic in https://safecast.slack.com/archives/C026F2Q1U/p1621995127018700 specifically

There's also another similar as from @nokton to be able to do area-based dashboards. This would be a geocoding lookup (not reverse), but we could possibly use the same tooling for both directions.
