Such an application does already exist (but might need to be adapted for 
mobile devices), made by [[:de:User:Kolossos]]
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikipedia-World/en

example:
http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/wp-world/umkreis.php?la=en&lon=13.7333333333333&lat=51.0333333333333&rang=10&map=0

rang= is the range in kilometers
set map=1 for a simple 2d scatter plot of the links
