Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I have often noticed that my location isn't updated for example when I leave home and come to work until I open the app or it does update but it is 4+ hours later, even though I have disabled battery optimisations. However, I often see it has updated which wifi it has connected to.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
So I was thinking if it would make sense to be able to link wifi names (or bssid in case of same names) to locations for updating a person's zone. e.g. When connected to home's wifi it should know I'm home and if it's connected to work's wifi to change to work etc. This would also be a workaround for people who don't have or don't want to have GPS on (whether that is battery draining or personal preference).
