Merge duplicate places

I have quite a few duplicate places (maybe due to the Moves import?). I realized that when I compared the visit count of a place with a search result for that place. A search&merge for duplicates would be nice!

    This might be covered by the suggestion to move all visits from one place to another?

    I think the “move visits to other place” can be a great solution to this problem. But I also think that Arc should auto detect some of these duplicates, and automatically merge them itself.

    So for that reason I think it’s worth keeping this as a separate feature request 😄

    Be careful about not auto-merging places which are simply very close to each other.

    In my case I’m talking about places with exactly the same name.

    I also have this problem with bad lovation data inside buildings. Arc has 3 different locations for my home that I would like to merge. And also work location is also “all over the place”.

    No new information about fixing multiple locations for the same place due to bad location data inside buildings.
