There's a semi-shareware network monitoring tool that'll do this,
called HNMS. Be prepared for a rough ride in compiling it, however.

With HNMS, if the SNMP sysLocation has numbers at the end, they're
treated as lat/long, and you can have them autopopulate on a map. Of
course, that only helps you if they put the location in there. :)
