I'm sure someone will have suggested this before (in fact i'm betting it is
already implemented in some form) but here goes anyway.

Wikipedia has a lot of great pages about places and many of those pages are
tagged with the co-ordinates of the pages.

With mobile devices with web  and GPS becoming more and more common it would
be wonderful if wikipedia had the ability to return pages 'close' to a given
location.
