Allow to store location of transaction #351

Optionally link locations with payers/payees and fill in the latter automatically

+1 vote for geolocation (via GPS). As a digital nomad looking to use this to track travel expenses...it would be immensely helpful to have each expense's location automatically included.

I would like to extend the idea by: On the new transaction screen there should be a button like "stores nearby". If you press the button then a list of shops around the GPS location is displayed. If I select one of these shops then the name can be automatically copied into the recipient field of the new transaction.

The stores nearby function could be resolved be a third party api like https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search#PlaceSearchRequests.

What do you think?

@Saghalt Thank you for the interesting idea, sorry for the late response. I am definitely interested in the topic. Surprisingly the issue has many upvotes here, but less support on the roadmap vote. If you want to increase priority of this issue, please also take part in the roadmap vote from the app's settings.

One aspect of using My Expenses in different time zones is that currently, the date and time of transactions are stored without time zone information, so that transactions will always be displayed in the local time zone of the moment you view the data, so you are not able to understand the time context when it was registered. Storing location would allow to reconstruct that information.
