I was keen to get the file pages corresponding to images on commons. I was imagining that some file pages would have coordinates on them corresponding to any geo data in the exif information
Fundamentally http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Nearby Should work exactly the same as wikipedia no? Seems like a crying shame...
Use case: Given I am at the Taj Mahal the nearby page should show me a load of pages with photos of the Taj Mahal. I've created a bug to capture it https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50133

I had a really cool idea of something to do today but realised that Commons has no geodata. How can we change this? (I'd expect to be able to see nearby photos on http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Nearby)
If you want to see images on Nearby, you should probably request them, not NS_MAIN;)
