If tasks are really location-based, then with a set of locations, we're personally solving the travelling salesman problem with more than just distance and weight, by trying to not merely minimise distance between tasks, but solving large sets of tasks in one location first - the node being heavy, not the vertex.

But at first sight I don't like the UI and the L&F at all. I'm all for minimalistic designs and interfaces, while that thingie looks like a big mess. Of course, I can't tell without having tried. I may do so with their free plan, but really: it looks oh so ugly that I'm not tempted to do so the slightest bit. @bru: it may well be, given the description I found there.

However, just knowing about it reminded me of an idea of my own and a (possibly) much simpler one, although vague too - like all of my ideas! ;) Precisely, as soon as I gathered some confidence with modern blogs' typical technologies, I happened to think that is would be nice to have a "PIMLOG" i.e. a hybrid between a blog and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_personal_information_managers" rel="nofollow">PIM</a>. Posts/entries would be the kind of things you would insert in your favourite PIM, and they would be posted in the familiar reverse chronological order. Then there would be several different levels of priority, and scheduling information. At some point, automatic reminders would also pop up, e.g.: "You really have to send that mail to ***, it's the third time I'm reminding you!" (And then one would have the means to tell the beast that he's done the damned thing; perhaps if the mail has a given subject, (B)Cc'ing it to a concocted email address for the pimlog would suffice to silent it.) Of course there would be private and public posts, and so on... How does it sound?
