I now realise I posted in the wrong forum. Could the admin please move this topic to the tips and tricks forum?

I always thought this would be great. Same reason. If something I need for the house could be bought at Home Depot or Lowes, I could get alerted when I'm near either.

No, this isn't currently possible; sorry for inconvenience, and thanks for the feedback!

Guys, think about this feature, please. I need this too

+1

Big time +1. I think this should be the very next thing RTM works on. It would really set RTM apart from other task management software.

This is the only thing I'm actual missing when using RTM. Anything else is just a would like to have. This I need to truly use RTM for everything.

At first, this seemed like a feature too large in scope and variables to be possible, but then I had an idea: We already define and label our own locations - but add the ability to group or tag locations into categories, and it would be good if one location could belong to more than one category. Then, we could have a "Home Depot" group that would work for the store closest to work, or the one near home, etc. Home Depot locations could also belong to a more general "hardware store" category. A grocery store tag would work for all the ones we define in our area. Then the task needs to be able to store more than one location (based on the categories) to trigger alerts.

+1 for vallynn's implementation idea.
Currently I use tags that start with @ as a workaround (i.e. @grocery), but having the benefits of locations would make it much better. I could assign the grocery location to the handfull of grocery stores I usually go to (near work, near home, etc)

I am just starting with locations, and this feature would be great.

I use locations pinned to northern Greenland for contexts that aren't physical (like computer or phone). I wonder if it would be possible to have locations like "supermarket" or "hardware store" use something like Google Places or Foursquare?

I've tried a variety of hack to workaround this, but I now that I have a geo-aware app, I really need it to understand that I'm at the grocery store when I'm at any store, not just one location.

This would be great to have - eg. where you work from two locations. Also, if you could have a smartlist which gave you the tasks for your nearest location then you could effective insert a range as a location. For example, I regularly take a particular train journey. It would be great to be have a location which is for on the train. So in this case the solution would be to have a location which included the start and end points and filter for nearest location.

I was going to post exactly the same idea ;]

I would love to have this feature too

Did this one ever reach the road-map, it's one of those ones I go looking for every time I go back to look at using locations.
