Yes, this seems designed to target the broad "who was in this area" warrants. Must have been a big enough headache for them that they came up with this new system. For me, I keep this location on indefinitely. Has been handy for me in a couple situations: I'm a scientist and helped me reconstruct my field work locations when I lost some field notes, and it helped me contact trace when I caught covid!
