Feature description

It would be really useful to have the option to attach location data to each recording. Use the phone's Location services to apply a GPS tag or an approximate street address or somesuch. This could be applied directly to the audio file itself, or possibly to some kind of sidecar file. I know there is another open feature request for voice transcription (which I also super-want), which almost certainly would require an accompanying text file, so if that's on the docket, maybe that would be the place to put the GPS data as well.

Why do you want this feature?

There are lots of potential applications for this feature. My specific need is to use the recorder as a brain dump tool and log of what I did during the day; quickly make a recording that includes lots of automatic contextual data, i.e. timestamp, location, possibly a very simple category selection. The recording then gets transferred to my PC where I can review it at the end of the day on a nice big screen.

Additional information

In pursuing this functionality in other software, I've learned that F Droid won't allow the location mechanism that many programs use because it has non FOSS dependencies. I don't know all the technicalities, but it's something to consider.
