New Tool: Location for Radio Userland

This tool enables geotagging of individual weblog postings.

Below the post editing box, there are inputs for latitude and longitude. A good site to find lat/lon coords is maporama. The lat/lon coords should be entered in “decimal” form.

In the weblog’s RSS file, the item will list the latitude and longitude in the “geo” namespace…

<item>
<description>Brighton, UK is a laid back town.</description>
<geo:lat>50.8351</geo:lat>
<geo:long>-0.1322</geo:long>
</item>

You can add a link to a map of the location, in the #itemTemplate, by using this macro:
<%locationlink(<%itemNum%>)%>, resulting in

Download Location.root to your Radio Userland Tools directory, restart Radio, and geo-freak out!
