New tool 'Local Wikipedia' filters Wikipedia entries by walking distance

A new website called Local Wikipedia displays only geocoded Wikipedia pages located within roughly a half-hour walk of the user's location. If fewer than 25 entries exist nearby, it expands the radius to about 6 miles to reach 25 results, capping the list at 500 entries. The site states it keeps location data in the user's browser and is not affiliated with Wikipedia.
