Somewhat sad to see that the story of Hansel & Gretel has been lost over time - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_(navigation) The context of 'location' or 'current location' will alter how someone comprehends the word. Cell phones frequently ask someone if they want to share their location. On the other hand the concept of location within an application is not as common. Ask someone where they are in an application and it is likely they will tell you what page they are on but not how they got there. Googling location or current location provides no clear assistance but doing the same with breadcrumb does. On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 9:19 AM, Paul J.
