Midori web browser supports “geo:” URIs

July 16th, 2012

The lightweight “Midori” web browser supports “geo:” URIs natively since version 0.3.6. Here’s the respective release announcement (from May 2011, only discovered now):

The browser extracts latitude and longitude from a geo: URI entered or clicked on, and redirects the user to the respective location on OpenStreetMap.

Very cool.
