This is just a thought for a future feature I think that would nifty for the iPhone version of OmniFocus.

The premise is that you could assign a "Location" to a task, whether it be a physical address or GPS coordinate. When you are out running errands and want to know if there is anything else nearby you can do, you can use the built in "Current Location" GPS function of the iPhone to track where you are and show a map of what other tasks are nearby. You could set limits to how far you are willing to travel (1, 5, 10, 25, etc.. mile radiuses).

A practical example would be you are going out to return a book to the library. You want to see what other things you could do that are nearby. Using this proposed function, you could see that you about 5 miles away from the grocery store where you could pick up the some ingredients you are missing for dinner.

Since you can already set-up default contexts for projects, you could also do it for Locations. Anything that goes in my grocery list gets the default address of my grocery store.

Of course, just a nifty idea.
