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!
