2018-Oct-02 I don't need an API key here because I am actually using Mediawiki's maps. But I need one elsewhere, and should probably use my own here too! See [[Using Google Maps]].
2018-Oct-02 For further information on using Google Maps including the API key, see [[Using Google Maps]].

History

2018-Oct-02 For further information on using Google Maps including the API key, see Using Google Maps.

2018-May-06 updated to 5.3, now I can use OpenStreetMap and OpenLayers and Leaflet.

2016-Oct-23 updated with "Maps" extension. I had to get a new API key from Google.

2008-JUN-02 I added the Google Maps extension to this wiki, which means I can now insert Google Maps anywhere.

Sample Maps

https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Maps_examples

OpenStreetMap + Leaflet : Clatsop County offices

{{#display_map:800 Exchange St, Astoria, Oregon, United States|service=leaflet|minzoom=12|zoom=16|maxzoom=20}}

OpenStreetMap + OpenLayers : Trailpeople Headquarters

{{#display_map:919 First Street, Benicia California|service=openlayers|minzoom=12|zoom=16|maxzoom=20}}

Google : Alsea Geospatial (previous location)

This map relies on the munificence of the mediawiki people. Currently you have to have a Google API key to use Google Maps and the first 28,000 ($200) of maps a month are free. So if you see a message here about the map being unavailable or something, it's because the limit was hit for this month.
