If we find someone who can do some hacking (which
I can't) perhaps there
is a way to integrate this tool to let the user select the location?

Tomasz,
Thanks for those links! As the Dutch say, "now my wooden clog is
breaking". Using the wonderful link right there to open street maps, is
there a way to ask the user who clicked on the image to update the
template:location if it is empty? This way the user just needs to move the
geo pointer on the map to the correct location (you probably need google
satellite view for this, not open street maps)
