Would it be possible to associate the items with maps they may be on ?

Gerald, this will be awesome!

Props to our own Andy Mabbett (well, I guess we share him with OSM) for
coming up with the idea for this and getting together with Edward to make
it work.

James the conversion is going on OSM list and I see Andy too. He should be
here soon. :)
