Place Notes
Tie notes to places on a world map. Works entirely offline, on desktop and mobile. Simple, unopinionated and markdown-native.
How it works
A place note is an ordinary Markdown note with two optional properties:
---
country: PT # ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
coordinates: [38.7169, -9.1399] # latitude, longitude
---
The interactive map view lets you easily find and create these notes. Existing notes join the map via Add to map in their context menu.
Install
Install Place Notes from Obsidian's community plugin directory, or in Obsidian go to Settings -> Community plugins -> Browse and search for "Place Notes".
