How could we automate the "sections" thing? #3

When you do a bee walk, you go through a fixed "transect" which has sections. It would be nice if whilst walking around, when you make a sighting, it knows which section you're on

We can easily get the location from the browser, and then we have to somehow know "this geolocation maps to this section"

What 3 words has an API mostly free... not sure if that would be useful though. https://developer.what3words.com/public-api

Can the stop action happen automatically? #7 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API/Using_the_Geolocation_API#examples
