If I touch the screen just a little off I'm off by several degrees, which is quite a distance.
Because while you can get the timezone, and maybe the country, this is often not enough. One could say, get it from GPS like OMweather does, but...

Skyhook Wireless API might work, but there is no support for it on the NIT (yet).

What they could do is 'zoom in' on the area covered by timezone + country. This is a lot smaller than the (huuuge) world map already.
