Kaddressbook has a field where one can add a coordinate of where the contact is located. This is something one normally does not know and has to lock up. So I guess no many people really use that feature. I would be much more helpful, if Kaddressbook would help to find the coordinates through the address. I am not sure if there is a webservice for that, but I assume that at least the coordinates of the city could be retrieved somewhere so determining the coordinates would be easier. If it would be easier to add coordinates to an address this would also allow other usages like viewing all contacts in a certain area or country on a map. Reproducible: Always

The former ideas needed online recources are available. KDE-SC Digikam makes use of the technology for it's geolocalization function. I would prefer to have an Interface, displaying a map to choose the geodata for a contact. Actually it makes use of the googlemaps api and one can choose map or satellite view. The second wish is available in Digikam, too. You have an Interface where you can mark a square on a map and digikam is showing all photografies with geolocation data of this area. Same thing in kaddressbook could filter the contact list displaying all contacts in the choosen area. Well, this is a wishlist. :-)

Would still be nice to have.
