GeoHack is designed to do simple HTML replacements of a template on Wikipedia and serve it to the client. It is used by Wikipedia to provide links to various mapping services, when a user clicks on a link with geographical coordinates.

If you stick a set of coordinates into the form, you'll get a page full of direct, annotated links to maps and imagery. Absolutely no B.S. along the way.
