No. You define the points when you submit the story. Or, you define  
the points when you are editing a story. See

For any nexus:
   that you want to ask for said coordinates
   that you want the stories to use the geo data

you have to define topic Extras to contain the data.

See http://slash.lottadot.com/article.pl?sid=05/06/15/1449258 for  
information about using Topic Extras to contain any type of arbitrary  
data w/ your stories.
