I hope everybody knows about these resources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Suffolk_County,_Massachusetts

and

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http%3A%2F%2Ftoolserver.org%2F~para%2Fcgi-bin%2Fkmlexport%3Farticle%3DCategory%3AWikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Suffolk_County%2C_Massachusetts%26usecache%3D1

The toolserver link can be reached from the category page ("Map of all 
coordinates from Google").  It works on my iPhone, though the rendering 
is a little sluggish.  It is positively invaluable for photo-hunting 
expeditions.
