I finally caved and had to ask.

    I had a though recently. It would be neato to have some open source, crowdsourced world database of item locations, where you add this sort of information.

    Tagged search of a store, where certain items are. What’s stores in a city sell X item. That sort of thing.

    Call it “WorldDB”, bake it into OpenStreetMap.

    No idea what the legality would be, but I would LOVE it.

    May write a post about it at some point, as I am no programmer.

      The problem is that stores regularly change the locations of items so everything would be constantly wrong.
