LibreOffice supports page headers and footers. Since you are trying to track character locations across the length of your narrative, list all your characters with their starting locations in the header on the first page. Then as characters move around, change their entry in the header on the page where the move occurs. Since headers carry forward from page to page, the location map which you store in them should remain current relative to the story events throughout the initial writing phase.

Just make sure to transcribe those headers into something like Lauren's spreadsheet once your first draft is finished. Then delete all your headers before starting your edit phase.
