Mikel Maron's Location tool for Radio UserLand
Another excellent geographic hack from Mikel
"This tool enables geotagging of individual weblog postings. Below the post editing box, there are inputs for latitude and longitude. A good site to find lat/lon coords is maporama. The lat/lon coords should be entered in "decimal" form. In the weblog's RSS file, the item will list the latitude and longitude in the "geo" namespace..."
<item>
<description>Brighton, UK is a laid back town.</description>
<geo:lat>50.8351</geo:lat>
<geo:lon>-0.1322</geo:lon>
</item>
You can add a link to a map of the location, in the #itemTemplate, by using this macro: <%locationlink(<%itemNum%>)>, resulting in

Download Location.root to your Radio Userland Tools directory, restart Radio, and geo-freak out!
