Answer the question: where am I?

When looking at a map, it would be nice to know what I am looking at.
I see two possible approaches for now:
By viewport
The area that covers the largest % of the screen (and less that 90%, otherwise it would always display « Europe »).
This requires that one displays a map, which is not always the case.
A geocoder that allows to search a restaurant needs to know where the restaurant is.
The nice thing is that it would show Central Park instead of Manhattan.
By a tag on the administrative level
It could be computed from the size instead of the administrative level. This would allow to handle differently Tokyo (2100km²) and Paris (100km²).
This tag could be attached to profile of who is asking.
It's really a good question, but do you think it's part of Cosmogony ?
Shouldn't this be more a geocoder question ?
I'm definitely motivated to dig more this question though
Well, it depends some information must be added on the ontology.
We probably have an 🥚 🐔 situation to know if it required.
@Tristramg we now have a tool to explore the cosmogony. Do you want to try to implement this feature in this tool ?
