I have loved this idea for years. I had wanted this same app when the iphone first came out.

However, it would be great if some of these activities can be triggered based on GPS location rather than clicking.

What about setting waypoints to track between. I set a waypoing GPS location for my home. Then I set one at the rain station near my house, then again near my job and finally at my job.

Measure commute times between all these points automatically.

Yeah, this feature has been requested a lot. And one person even commented on using NFC to have even finer control of automatic tracking. For example, having a NFC tag in your car detect when you get in and when you arrive and get out of your car. Tons of really cool ways to make this App even better.

I think NFC might not work too well, as the range is fairly small. So you may need to swipe your phone near it? But I am not sure.
