This would imho allow the community to post new POIs more easily and thus contribute to the project.

Another thing I have been trying on, is a "record-map" UI, which basically allows you to "roam" an area, recording "/loc" automatically (instead of button). This way a file with loads of dots is created. (haven't figured out how to read the location as a 'live -feed')

Obviously roaming the walls provides best results. Although this is a lot of work to make, once done it could make it way easier to make new maps. =)
At this time there is not any way to comunicate with the UI from outside the game, other then the verry limited HTML page.
