Thank you Brad, done it. however, I understand there is no wikipedia api to expose the nearby search at the moment, correct? a) do you plan to set it up ? b) would it be possible to use the http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby but instead of pointing the link to the wikipedia page, to point the link to our db (which is mapped on the wikipedia) ? how to ? I would like to return the results possibly using the curid of pages, not only titles.
