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?

- Carsten
