Description Christopher Yeleighton 2023-01-06 11:21:08 UTC

SUMMARY
The ruling party in my country changes street names according to their current propaganda message.   When I tell such an address to locate, I get nothing.  Could we add geolocation field to the address in order to make it more persistent?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tell an address to locate!

OBSERVED RESULT
:-(

EXPECTED RESULT
The same place, different street, found using geolocoation :-)

> As gps coordinate ?

KContacts::Address even has that already, it's "just" missing in the UI. Exposing that as simple numerical values however is pretty useless for most users I think, what we'd ideally want there instead is a map. See e.g. what Kalendar does for event locations.

Ok I will look at it.
Indeed we need a map it seems better
