Description Axel Boldt 2012-04-27 00:41:10 UTC 
It should be possible to view "Nearby" articles for any given location, not just for the current location. This is useful if location service is not available, or if planning a trip, researching a country etc. The open geonames.org service could be used to translate a given location name into map coordinates.

Keeping as an enhancement req for the new app.

From bug 40458:

I dont have a GPS on my phone, when using the near by function I end up in the
middle of the Guinea bay (0,0 coordinates I guess).  Would it be possible to
let us set a default location to start at? One idea would be to use a Wikipedia
article having geo data, I could use [[fr:Nantes]] as a starting point since
that is where I live :-)
