Include option for timestamp when sharing the location
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I often share the current location into my note taking tool, to remind me about something at the current location. It will be helpful if the coordinates also include a timestamp when exactly the location was shared.
Describe the solution you'd like The "Share" window currently has an option "Include altitude", this can be expanded by an option "Include timestamp".
Result can be something like:
geo:52.6,13.3
time:2025-01-19 10:57:45
Maybe add the time zone, maybe not. Should be clear from the coordinates.
Describe alternatives you've considered The current alternative is going into the note taking tool and add a time or a reference manually. It's cumbersome.
Additional context Two of my use cases to show how useful a timestamp can be:
When I spot something which is not updated in OpenStreetMap, I usually record a video and edit the map when back home. To find the correct starting point for the video, I share the coordinate into my note taking tool. On a cycling trip it so happens that I might have a dozen short videos, having a timestamp makes it easier to find the correct video for the edit.
When I find an issue somewhere on the street which I want to report to the local authorities (like a damage, some trash, a broken street lamp, you get the idea), I share the coordinate into my note taking tool. When I go over my notes later, I know there are pictures somewhere on my phone. Having the timestamp makes it easier to find the correct pictures to the coordinates, especially when I have more than one issue to report.
