Well, the EXIF coordinates I believe the bot put in a Template:Location (that's for camera location). The monuments themselves should be mapped towards Template:Object location.
If we already have the locations for the monuments, then the user should only need to worry about what monument was photographed and we should work some magic in the background to poulate the object location template. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Jan Ainali Ordförande, Wikimedia Sverige <http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida> 2011/7/15 Jane Darnell <[email protected]> > Awesome!
