I apologize if I should have requested this enhancement in a different place. But it should be quite easy to implement and really improve the product. What's needed is a way to embed GPS coordinates or placemarks in wiki text (perhaps [lat=10.123 lon=54.10|Somewhere]), and a script to extract the embedded coordinates to a user chosen format (e.g. Google Earth). Why I say it's so easy to implement is that a utility already exist to convert between most formats used for GPS locations (gpsbabel.org).
