Above is minimal acceptance criteria.
This could be implemented in many different ways: (TBD)

  • do we want to display a map in addition to/instead of only coordinates (for viewing - like wikidata does)?
  • do we want 1 input field for input (in 27°59'17"N, 86°55'31"E format, like wikidata)? or multiple for latitude/longitude?
  • or a map where one can click a location
  • or geocode an address
  • any combination of above?
