Wikimapia has some buildings geolacated. Not a solution, but it may help in some cases.
A problem we have encountered is that local administrations in Spain are using coordinates
in UTM ED50 format. We use a spreadsheet to convert them into GPS format, but it is not
precise enough for landmarks. Geohack does not have UTM ED50 format.

This is the coordinates tool that is used on the Dutch wiki.
It generates the code for the wiki-template, by picking a place on the map.
I hope this helps us all out..
I am currently working on improving this one. My current version will do
any changes you do directly to the generated template, so you don't need
to click the coordinate again, and with help of Dispenser, the maintainer
of the geohack tools, it can select the region automatically. I will move
this version shortly to multichill's version.
If we should support other templates for other wiki's, I can look into that
as well. For the auto-edit tools to work, some javascript should be
installed on that wiki, but then I can add it to the list.
I am thinking of moving this to a project account on the toolserver, so
if others are willing to help with this, let me know.

Andre
