I was thinking about the 'maplink' part of the edit form, if OpenGuides can create/get lat/long coords then couldn't it automatically build a map link?
Multimap links are of the form: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=54.6434&lon=-5.6731&scale...
So all OpenGuides would have to do is glue the numbers into a string, right?
I'm already doing this on Oxford openguides (though with Streetmap rather than multimap as that's my personal preference). Attached is a patch on the default templates from 0.29 as used by us (note that when I suggested this before people were wary about getting Streetmap upset, although it doesn't constitute mining their data).
Cheers,
