So, no mobile support as yet? Your example map was a big blank spot in mobile mode.
When I did click through for the "desktop" version of the page, the map displayed the same thoroughly annoying behavior as all these maps do when I encounter them. That is, when I tried to scroll the page, I wound up scrolling the map instead.
I have never found interactive maps to be particularly useful anyplace I've found them throughout the web. They're too small and limited in functionality; when I've been given the option, I've usually clicked through to get a regular Google Maps page.

Hello,
The Maps team at the Wikimedia Foundation is getting closer to make it possible to add interactive maps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps to Wikipedia. If you've ever used services like Google Maps or Mapquest you may be familiar with interactive maps. We’d like to invite editors to have a conversation on how these maps might be used within articles. We've put together information on how these maps and their style works from a technical perspective < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/Conversation_about_interactive_map_use
– where the data comes from, how maps are styled, how to add an interactive map, and a few example use cases.
In particular we would like to focus the discussion around three key questions (open discussion outside these questions is welcome too).
What types of articles would use interactive maps?
How do these articles differ in their requirements?
Are there any classes of articles whose map styling requirement is
fundamentally in conflict with other article classes, thus requiring multiple styles?
If you are interested, please visit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/Conversation_about_interactive_map_use to learn more and get involved. -- Yours, Chris Koerner Community Liaison - Discovery Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
