Can OpenTimestamps be paired with geographic tracking or maps? (I briefly skimmed the info at the OpenTimestamps link above but did read everything so please excuse if I missed the answer to my question. OpenTimestamps looks amazing!)
Basically no. Proving things about geographical location in a decentralized way is incredibly challenging, probably impossible. Even with centralized services the best you can do without trusted hardware is really rough location via speed-of-light/ping times from centralized servers at known locations.
