Great functionality. Several posts are about using the Location column. So far I have found 3 ways:
a. Modern view: manually enter a location name or address for each item
This limits use to "known" places whereas in many case this is not possible (e.g. oil well).
b. Classic view: paste json string into the Location field
Most users will not be able to contruct this string.
c. Programmatically.
Use e.g. REST API to populate the Location field (e.g. https://www.slimapplications.com/product/explorer/). In principle this should also work with PowerShell or other API's.
By combining the Location field with Bing Maps its is possible to create powerful and intuitive solutions. A simple case: upload jpeg files, extract GPS coordinates and show items on a map.
