What I am asking for is a CMS where the Content is usually location-based content. Now if only it was written in a language I liked working with. :) Guess we sometimes have to make sacrifices to meet our desires.

Upload of GPX files could allow the system to extract tracks and waypoints and store those so they could be later queried: 'Which cities have I travelled to over past [time period]?', 'Where did I go in those places?', etc. Uploading photos to the system could allow for geotagging based on time matching with that pre-existing GPX data. The data could optionally be shared with projects like OpenStreetMap which is always on the look out for more GPX tracks.
