If you are a location scout and you dont know nuthin’ ’bout maps, well then, you aint… well let’s just say you should!
It hardly seems accidental or coincidental that most location scouts and location managers (as well as many directors, photographers, dp’s, producers and pa’s) seem to have at least just a little bit of that “techy gene” that gravitates them towards stuff like maps, organized data, gadgets, electronics, etc, etc… in any case, maps is useful stuff!
I mean, isn’t it pretty much assumed that you are real good at finding stuff? Aren’t you the “go-to” person to get your crew to and from a location as expeditiously and safely as possibly?
You might be a location scout if… 
…I rest my case…
…but I digress…
(yummy GeoURL chicklet for this website)I was very surprised to find there was not a Wikipedia page for GeoURL. Short of writing it myself, in the meantime, I have created a request for a GeoURL page to be added to Wikipedia
Basically, what happens is (using a very useful helper if you need it) you add the supplied metatags to the head (truncated for illustration) section of your homepage*
*this is admittedly somewhat “techy” stuff here… if you don’t already know, then it is up to you to be motivated enough to read and learn for yourself – read: don’t even think about writing me asking for “internet lessons”
If you view the source of my home page you will see the following metatags:
meta name=”ICBM” content=”40.86335, -74.16205″ / (truncated for illustration) (hint: see anything looks just an itty bitty teeny weeny bit like latitude and longitude?)
meta name=”DC.title” content=”nyc.locationscout.us” / (truncated for illustration) DC.title
Voila! – that is how GeoURL indexes your website 
If you look on the results page for a GeoURL lookup of this website, you will see quite a bit of useful info:
“last updated 2008-03-21T11:34:54, created 2006-08-29T00:06:04.
atom | rss | Google Maps | MultiMap | Mapquest“
…and you will see all the other indexed websites geographically near this website as well. Neat, huh?
