# 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:

```yaml
---
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.
