You can also do a link into WD-FIST using an
arbitrary set of
coordinates, which might help with a tool like this -
(1 km from centre of Cambridge)
You get interesting results for capital cities, though...

Very nice!
A few quick comments:
* It keeps asking me to share my location (FF40/Mac), even though I agree.
Maybe a cookie issue?
* This also happens when I click on an item.
* Testing near Wikidata HQ ;-) I found quite a few items without image. Note
that you can construct a link for specific items (as in, items in your
results without image) to WD-FIST. Example (three items closest to my
location):
https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/index.html?wdq=items%5b1975500,629084…
In this case, I could instantly add an image for two of the three items (I
didn't, for demonstration's sake). Maybe worth a thought.
Cheers,
Magnus
