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 On Jan 7, 2010, at 6:09 PM, Kurt Schwehr wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a couple questions about geolocation in org mode.
