This is a fantastic website that might help us with localization issues:

Hi,
        New scientist had an article this week on
open street maps. A few sites of interest


OpenStreetMap
an effort to produce free (CC licensed) streetmaps of the world.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/

LondonFreeMap
We're making free-of-copyright street level maps of London
http://uo.space.frot.org/?LondonFreeMap

Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC)
is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards 
organization that is leading the development of standards for geospatial 
and location based services.
http://www.opengeospatial.org/

GML Geography Markup Language
http://xml.coverpages.org/geographyML.html

This stuff may be useful for locilisation issues.

Rich
