I agree that it is important that scripts be concise.  But I think it
would be useful to at least show the city.  For example, in your
example output:

You could change it to:

| mac-geolocation:
|   00:24:B2:1E:24:FE
|     Google
|       coordinates (lat,lon): 44.9507415,-93.100682
|       city: St Paul, Minnesota, United States
|     Skyhook
|       coordinates (lat,lon): 44.9507415,-93.100682
|_      city: St Paul, Minnesota, United States

It would give the city name (if available) followed by the
region/state (if available), followed by the country (if available).

Also, it would be nice to have an NSE argument to control which
provider(s) are used (Google, Skyhook, or both).  And I think we've
talked about adding a feature whereby it would look up target's MAC
addresses (whether determined from snmp-interfaces or the more common
case where Nmap finds MAC addresses for targets on a local LAN).

Cheers,
Fyodor
