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

OpenStreetMap + Leaflet : Clatsop County offices

This is geocoded based on the address 800 Exchange St.

OpenStreetMap + OpenLayers : Trailpeople Headquarters

919 First Street in Benicia.

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!)
