Guess the server endpoint based upon GPS

[milovanderlinden]

When the application starts, The location needs to be taken from GPS that will then be used to query "the nearest" server endpoint and be provided to the user in a dialog. This should replace the "Select a city" list.

This is closely related to extend the open311 service discovery and has at least discussed at open311 lists here and here. Unfortunately none seem to be more than an idea and it's still hard to maintain an catalogue of decentralized services.

From a practical point-of-view it might be easy to rely on the servers.json file of [CodeForEindhoven/open311_java] and extend it with city boundaries. The OpenStreetMap community maintains different admin level boundaries, so we might suggest an open311=* OSM tag which refers to the corresponding base URL? So we could download the boundaries from OSM, simplify them and add them to servers.json as geoJSON multipolygon?
