           Summary: Add an embedded map widget to location search
    Classification: Applications

SUMMARY

There is no way to disambiguate among identically named towns/villages when
adding locations to kweather.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try adding Zachełmie

OBSERVED RESULT

There are two entries for "Zachełmie | Poland", corresponding to two real
villages with the same name hundreds of kilometers apart. There is no way to
tell them apart in kweather. If you add one, the UI provides no information
that could help to know whether you chose the right one. Basically the only way
is to add one provisionally, then watch the weather outside, and if it's poorly
correlated with what kweather says, it's probably the wrong one.

EXPECTED RESULT

There should be a map widget embedded in the location search dialog, showing
the geographical vicinity of the chosen location. Additionally, the main UI
should have a button to show the current location on a map. Displaying latitude
and longitute somewhere wouldn't harm either.
