I'm not sure if this answers your question, but this is what I would do to record the location of places I go to. For example, I like to record my location in the LINE app to share with others in my friends' list, so I do this:
1) Go to chats
2) Go to the person you want to share your location with, one of your LINE friends, (it will also be sent to yourself as well.)
3) Click on the plus sign in the lower left, which gives you all kinds of options to send photos/videos, the camera, voice, contact info, and location, etc.
4) Click on the location icon and you get a map of your current location with a red triangle.
5) Then click on "Share Location" text and it will go to your friend and yourself of where you happen to be.
All the friend or user need do is to read the address and/or click the red triangle to go to a map.
I have an iPhone, and don't know if it makes any difference, but the information is easily shared this way. I don't see any reason you can't build a database of places you go to once you get there. We could all do that. Theoretically, we would have to the most powerful and current mapping database possible, since we do the input ourselves. This is just a basic straightforward approach to solving a problem.
