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

to learn more and get involved.
