[Koha-devel] Geolocalization in Koha

[Pablo A. Bianchi]

Hi!

Does anyone ever thought of adding Geolocation[0] to Koha? Probably
using also Google Maps API.
Having branches spread over a large territory make this very useful,
making the records of the searched material more near first in the
result list. Is possible to add some heuristics based on what people
usually search for on that zone.
There are some freely available databases, but also is possible to
create and improve one over time, based on location established on
registered and logged users, associating it with their IP address.

Regards,
Pablo
