Would need a pile of changes, for instance a local DB full of points,
to work anywhere near efficiently -- those images were produced fairly
ad-hoc and it wasn't exactly quick. And we'd need a GPS equivalent of
the planet file too, because life is too short to try and query the DB
through the API for any large area.
