I was unsure of what to do with it (whether or not it was precise enough to mass-geoloc items)
A coordinate is better than no coordinate at all. From that point on we can start improving coordinates. We need of course somehow to indicate that the coordinate is derived and might contain errors. On the other hand: The coordinates we get from sources also contain errors so there is no real difference. I do wonder if the error rates are about the same.
It would be interesting to find also the coordinates of other items via Google Maps and OSM and then compare them to the ones provided by the institutions to see how big the difference is among the the various sources.
