The Whats Nearby extension that adds geolocation (HTML5) detection information to templates in order to generate adaptive content. See the README file for detailed instructions on how to install and use this extension.

Having the Maps extension installed is a precondition for this extension to work. Best used in conjunction with the Semantic MediaWiki extension, though this is not a hard requirement.
