There is currently a discussion taking place at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:HWY#RFC_on_coordinates_in_highwa...
regarding a proposal to change the MoS to prohibit the use of coordinates in articles about highways (aka roads/ motorways).
This would remove them from the new app's "nearby" view.

That's probably the right thing for now; without a way to usefully describe them as .... long windy things ... coordinates are not very useful on roads or rivers.

Andy, thanks for the heads up.
We are currently looking at structuring geo information in general so this is good input. Max is a new team member who is dealing with this specifically.
