How do you do that out of interest? GPS? Can you give an example URL.

Lots of UK place articles have UK grid refs and so on which could be  
extracted,
although they need conversion. I would add more geo data if there  
were standard
templates etc. I do have a GPS card somewhere, but I wish my camera  
had it built in.

I am very keen on adding geolocation data to wikipedia. The google  
maps interface
is nasty though - more interested in building it into WP itself.
