    S. said: third part apps already let you do this somewhat but you must figure some the general area. I see pros and cons about this issue, in my humble thoughts their is more pros than cons. I feel this is a great idea for many reasons.

    The timeline page for individuals has a "Map" on/off button ( seen July 2021 ). Something like this would be great on the records search page to help narrow down names.

    I think this is what David here is looking for.
