I have prolly 50+ saved items in my FB Marketplace.  It seems to me like an application that could retain a map of 500 miles from a given point (aka "where you are") and allow you to save reference items (aka your Saved items) to specific locations on that map might be really useful.   If I was driving to get Item A and the app made it clear Item B was only 30 miles out of the way, a notification of that would be really nice.

Any thoughts?

It would need to sign into FB.
It would also be kinda tricky cause I might say that a part you want is in Riverview, but really it might be in Valrico, or west Brandon, or wherever.  You'd almost need something that would allow input

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Even if it was a manual input (I have to manually enter each item/place) it would be nice to have...  Wouldn't have to be "precise"---all you'd need to know is the claimed city.

I would use some kind of FLOSS mapping/navigation app and save each item as a POI with a link to the Facebook post in the comments/notes field. I would probably save the number and description in there as well for future reference once it's gone from Facebook. If I want to try a different app I can always export the POIs and import into something else.

Thinking about it, I would be very surprised if there wasn't an app already out there.
