Europe will over the next years install a GPS-like positioning system
called Galileo. The German list got a suggestion to include coordinates
in the form of
[[Geo:-13°23'+45°2'23'']]
or similar for locations. A future GPS/Galileo PDA/smartphone could then
reverse-lookup what wikipedia has about the current location. (This is
kind of a PR gag, but still...)
IMHO that brings us back to the map system we already discussed to death ;-)
Seriously, such markup could link to a special page with multiple functions:
* Show it on a map
* List wikipedia locations nearby
and others I can't think of right now.
Should we
a) include such a syntax?
b) wait for a "real" map system to emerge, or just do this now and
convert later?
