Definitely. Let me quote from/comment on a Linuxjournal article where I got most of my imagination/information from...
[...] Known geographic link sites like Multimap and A2B limit users in their selection of available services.
I think CR should maximize user geo-centric input for highly flexible target group oriented navigation.
The more so since [...] CR targets to Bloggers, Travelers and Photographers, users par excellence who can either provide new context to their articles by supplying specific geographic information about where they are writing from, or can provide viewers with information necessary for better understanding the picture by informing them of where it was taken.
Also various environmental services are now beginning to offer syndication feeds for weather and earthquakes and so on. By geo tagging these feeds, users could sort, search and display information by region and location. As a result, they would gain a better picture of the current events happening in a requested area [...].
I experimented and posted a first thing in the
Galleries section on integration of Google Earth/Google Maps .kml and .kmz files. I asked for a graphics toolkit to be enabled in CR that supports those files.
There is a Drupal KML module available.

The KML module allows people to access spatially enabled information in Drupal through the Google Earth interface (requires location.module for storing coordinates)
Well, this is about the things I'm thinking of/have done so far, nothing revolutionary, I think ... but you asked me to explain the "GPS" feature a little more :-)
