Hi all,
I have a couple questions about geolocation in org mode. I am still in
the first two weeks of learning org mode and shifting my workflow to it.
* Is there a standard way to specify a point, line, polygon in org mode?
We take a lot of notes about installation of science gear in the field
and make observations. Being able to tag where this was in a standard
way would be great. I just write WKT (Well-know text), but if there is
already a standard for org mode, it would be good for me to stick with that.
* Is there an easy way to call a geolocation service from inside of
org-mode to tag the location of an entry?
* And, Has there been any thought to exporting a time and location
tagged KML of a document? This would make reporting notes from research
cruises on ships from org mode be really powerful.
It would be great to move beyond the hand crafted things that I do for
this. Imagine a field scientist with a laptop or MobileOrg taking
notes. One example of the kind of thing that I would like to produce:

Hi Kurt,
that sounds like fun, but I have no idea how to access geolocation data.
This would be a great extension for Org-mode, both geotaggging of
location
in the logbook, and export to KLM.
Is there anyone around here who understands how these things work and
who would
be willing to help?
