Hi!

I've written a quick Python script that:
* Gets the geographical position of your device from the GeoClue library
* Pulls nearby Wikipedia pages using the Geonames Web Service
* Populates them into the Maemo Mapper POI database

This immediately makes Maemo Mapper a travel guide ;-)





This hasn't been tested much yet, but if you want to try it:
* install Python
* install GeoClue from the maemo-hackers repository
* copy the wikipedia2poi.py script to your device
* run it on command line

Please let me know what happens!
