Subject: Is there a MIB value for geographic location?


I realise that this is a bit off topic for net-snmp, but I thought someone 
here might know.  

I need to put the geographic location of a box somewhere that it can be retrieved 
centrally, and the boxes are already being polled for 
SNMP data so it makes sense to use this mechanism if possible.

There is the sysLocation value, which is easily accessible in the snmpd.conf file, but 
I guess that normally this is not used for a latitude and longitude.
Are there any difficulties in using it this way?   All the examples talk about
this as a geographic location, but then give examples using it as a postal address.

Are there any MIBs more specifically targeted at GPS style locations?

Thanks in advance

David
