Transaction Geo Location
Tackler supports location metadata with transaction data and this makes it possible to record
location data for that transaction. This location data could be used later to select transaction
for reports or plot transactions on map. Plaintext accounting with GIS
has ideas for some use cases.
See Transaction Geo Filters for information how to select transactions based on location data and Travel Journal with Geo Location for full example of GIS data and reports.
Geo Location Syntax
Transaction location is recorded by using location metadata field, and actual location is provided by geo URI.
