Check out the new {{Attached KML}} template on en.wp
Example use:

The WikiMiniAtlas (blue ball next to the coordinate link) already
supports display of such vector overlays.
The discussion around the template can be found here:

I am about to run a bot that would attach KML county outlines to all
US county articles. A similar bot is being developed by User:The Anome
for al US highways.

I'm very interested in using the Maps extension,

overlay a vector layer, e.g. to show the extents of a park, city, etc.
Has anyone considered adding such support to the extension? I'm also
interested in a lightweight alternative to OpenLayers, namely Leaflet
[0]. Also check out the new Leaflet Vector Layers [1].
I suppose the biggest question is where should the vector data come
from. For simple polygons with a few dozen points it could be passed
in directly. With Vector Layers you can pull data from GeoCommons [2]
and other databases easily.
