OT (?): Bookmarking GPS coords

[Alex Tweedly]

I'm looking for any help or suggestions for existing apps that can do 
(something like) what I want to do - could even be a clever way to use a 
feature I've not found in Google maps, or pple maps, or ...


I have a reasonable number (i.e. 10 - 200 !!) - not a small number where 
I would be willing to use a somewhat cumbersome, overly-manual method, 
nor a huge number where it would need to be highly automated - *named* 
places that I want to capture a GPS location for (say, a list of all the 
houses in my neighbourhood).

I want to finish up with a table of 'address to GPS location' (for later 
use on a helpful web-site). Google Maps's "address lookup" feature 
doesn't work for my situation (named houses in a rural location; it does 
OK for numbers in a street in urban places in the US, but not for me 
here :-)

Using Google (or Apple) Maps to capture 'current loc' is fine - but all 
you get is a marker that you can share with their own app - or can share 
via notes/email/ ... and that doesn't even make it easy to label the 
location. And I *want* to download the list of addresses - I do *not* 
want to be re-typing them on a phone. So this approach (unless there's a 
feature I've missed) is just too cumbersome for 10s or 100s of locations.

It would be the most trivial app to write in LC

  - ask the postcode

  - download the list of addresses in that postcode, and put it into a 
selection control

  - have a button that takes current location and stores it for the 
selected address

[walk along the road, selecting and clicking as I pass each house :-) ]

  - upload the completed file of locations + addresses

BUT - I would need to figure out how to build an iOS and/or Android app, 
and how to release it or get it on to the phones of my volunteers, which 
seems to be so troublesome I'd rather avoid it :-)

So I'm hoping there's some existing app I can use (or misuse) to get the 
task done.

Many thanks

Alex.

P.S. yes, I know I can buy this data, but doing that is well our of my 
budget :-)
