Comment (by irl):
metrics-bot currently does not use latitude and longitude, only the
country code, but there are clients using the information including
[[https://tormap.void.gr|Tor Map]] and a (not yet merged) leaflet.js map
and (also not yet merged) Relay Search map (for individual relays, not
aggregated by country).
One potential alternative would be to perform lookups on regions/cities
via the [[http://www.geonames.org/maps/osm-reverse-geocoder.html|Geonames
API]].
I do wonder however if they are removing the lat/long because the accuracy
on region/city level isn't as good as it needs to be for them to provide
that data in a useful way.
