Having read through most of this thread, I would suggest the event name "VISITED." Transit or visiting would not be proper usage for an event that happened in the past. I'm mostly curious about why one would want this action to be an event? Is it the intent to be able to pull up a report to see how many people in your database visited a particular location? Or, perhaps, have a timeline using this kind of event?

I follow a little bit the discussion about transit/visits/traveling and so on. To my opinion is the best solution to make a note for that person and not a new event. In a note you can write what you found about that person. That gives a maximum on flexibility.
