Hi all

i wonder if anyone has experience with using maps etv in orgmode?
i have used org very successfully in my last 2 trips abroad to detail/note
places to visit (and eat! :)). i then usually search for the place name in
google maps and mark it there so i can reach it easily.
I would love to know if there are open source alternatives to google maps
and/or way to integrate location/map services in orgmode

thx !

I cannot help you with the rest of your query but for this, try

See the thread starting at

     http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26797

I think I had tried that back then and it worked (for some
value of "worked") but I have not used it since.
