First of all, thanks for these fantastic set of modules. They're really useful to me.
Secondly, the request. It would be really nice if I could have a tool where I could add an existing location to a node. The fact is that I have several nodes in the same location, and I'm adding every location as a new one, but I'd only need one for all of them.
Is it possible to add an option to select on already existing given location instead of creating a new one for every node?
Thanks a lot in advance

Status to need review.
I am trying to answer this question from a user's perspective, a solution purely through configuring drupal.
To add the same location to several nodes I would create a content type (admin/content/types/add) for these type of nodes and use the location_cck module to add a location field to the content type. After you added a field you will be presented with a form which includes a fieldset for configuring the Locative information. see attachment
The Collection settings allows you to supply default values and configure which fields you want to collect, if the values are required, the default values are forced or whether users are allowed to change the values. The next section Display settings gives you the opportunity to select which fields you want to hide from the node display. You can consider this the configuration of your existing location which will automatically be added to every node (of this type).
Once you save the form the location field is added to the content type, every time a new node of this type is created the location will already be configured with its default values and stored with the node. No need for you to fuzz about the location any further.
Please respond even if this was helpful or not.

kiko commentedhi, and my apologies for letting pass so much time.
That's the solution I'm implementing now. I've configured a "location" type and I'm referring my nodes to it. Thanks for your time
