geo advocacy
Part of the larger microformats advocacy effort. Adding "Geo" markup (inside hCard where appropriate) to these sites would improve their usability and ambient findability.
various
- WikiGPS
- Under development; notified of Geo microformat 2007-03-23
- Collections of waypoints
- See also geo-waypoint-examples
- Upcoming
- Some events, e.g. Multipack February 2007 are tagged thus:
geo:lat=52.4784,geo:lon=-1.9096. This could be rendered as a geo microformat. Andy Mabbett - Requested on (now defunct) Upcoming wiki 2007-01-14
- Repeated on new suggestion board. 2007-03-30. Please vote for this suggestion Andy Mabbett
- Some events, e.g. Multipack February 2007 are tagged thus:

- GlobalMotion
Also:
- Various Geocache listing sites
routes and tracks
- TerraWiki
- Featues, e.g. Mount Marcy
Sites which currently offer downloadable routes or tracks (as KML, GPX or similar files) could also offer a "view on-line" option, with the coordinates listed on a web page, marked-up with Geo (and hCard) microformats, which could then be parsed with whatever tool the user chooses.:

- "The true benefit of this appears to be allowing sharing between sites [this] is something that GC specifically guards against so would be a major detriment. And most importantly when discussing a site or piece of software that is running smoothly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There just does not seem to be a benefit to GC's current plans." 2007-04-02
