[AG-TECH] Portal node listing update ...

[Michael Braitmaier]

Hello Darran!

Nice idea with the GPS. Unfortunately I don't have a GPS receiver here at 
hand.
Furthermore Google map seems to consider Europe being "burned soil".
There are no cities and streets available, except for the UK.

In this context making GPS coordinates a "must" in the node formular is not 
very
lucky. I would appreciate it, GPS coordinates being optional at least until 
everyone
has a easy chance of determining his GPS coordinates.

Best Regards
Michael
