Wiki Maps

There is a very cool and easy to use Maps extension for Mediawiki. I installed it here and put together this simple page to test it.

History

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.

Geocoding

The Astoria Co-op store is here: {{#geocode: Astoria Co-op}}

The Utzinger Duplex is here: {{#geocode: 1109 Harrison Avenue, Astoria, Oregon}}

{{#display_map: 1109 Harrison Avenue, Astoria, Oregon|height=400|width=400|zoom=16}}

Sample Maps

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

OpenStreetMap + Leaflet : Clatsop County offices

This is geocoded based on the address 800 Exchange St.

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

OpenStreetMap + OpenLayers : Trailpeople Headquarters

919 First Street in Benicia.

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

Google : Alsea Geospatial (previous location)

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. (Ha ha that will never happen on this page!)

This example uses the coordinates of the building instead of geocoding.
