Geotags.org > Maemo Plazer released
[Henri Bergius: Weblog] There are of course lots of development ideas we have for the application. We're considering if it could become a more generic WiFi utility by combining it with the GNOME WiFI autologin applet, and also planning to make it a GeoClue backend so that other geo-aware Maemo applications can use Plazes position information.

tigert.com | my life and stuff: However, we are trying to do a blogging tool for the N800 / maemo that queries GeoClue for location and then sets geotags accordingly when you post. It needs blog support too - Andrew Turner is working on a wordpress plugin as a counterpart to this. (via Cosmos)

And if they stumble on a new one, a web browser window is opened to form where they can enter the network devices to add the new AP to the database.

Henri Bergius: Weblog: While the current uses make the device already quite useful, I'd love to use it as a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, automatically finding Wikipedia information about things near me. When Maemo-Blog improves a bit, the device may also become an useful tool for maintaining a travel journal, especially since the application is able to communicate my coordinates to the blog.

B:\datenbrei: In the beginning of this year I drafted a Ubuntu Specification for Geographic Location Desktop Services (and never finished it). And a few days ago I received a little update on the wiki page pointing to some very interessting GNOME project called GeoClue. (via Cosmos)
[Bergie.iki.fi] Henri Bergius: Weblog: It is definitely a cool first step into the Maemo world. ... Good work, Plazes team! Seeking Wi-Fi access points with the Mobile Plazer ...
