I'd use the feature in general, but most likely only on mobile - which 
means obviously there are some prereqs.

The overall workflow/use-case is:

* I'm sitting on a dive boat listening to the pre-dive briefing.
* The divemaster says "we're at XXX".
* I open the mobile app, hit "add dive site", enter in the name of the 
place.
* I do *something* (Maybe hit "I'm here now") - that would record a 
timestamp or something - so that when I sync from dive computer later 
and apply GPS fixes, it'll know what's going on.

It's less of an issue for shore dives, since I've usually taken myself 
to those sites, and I'm still at those sites after the dive (usually). 
But on a boat, while I did book the _trip_ - the divesites themselves 
are often fluid depending on conditions and we know them when we get 
there - and we're often somewhere else by the time I'm syncing/logging.

The GPS tracker, obviously, solves 99% of what I need for "I'm logging 
later and am already somewhere else". The process for using that 
currently is:

* turn on tracker
* sync dives
* enter dive site name
* apply gps fixes

so this is really about moving "enter dive site name" earlier in the 
process flow.

Anyway - I'm pretty happy with how it works currently - so if we never 
grew "add a divesite on mobile" I'd be great.

Awesome!
