Feature request: location per profile

As a nomad astronomer I would like to be able to create profiles that also include a preset geographic location. By defining preset locations in Kstars and be able to choose from them in Ekos when creating a profile.

When at location A (city) I do planetary imaging so the devices attached are different than at location B where I do deep sky imaging. It is a bit of pain to have to modify my location each time and if I forget it makes a big difference in pointing accuracy

Thank you.

A good suggestion. An available option for the location aspect is picking up a usb GPS puck and running indi-gpsd. Never worry about location again.

That is a good advice :) I'll look into this.
If you have a prefered GPS device that you know is good value for the money I'd be interested to hear from you :)

I have only tried one, but it worked right away. It is the GlobalSat Bu-535u4.
