[Mediawiki-l] yet another google maps extension

[Evan Miller]

Hello,

Google offers an open API for displaying custom information on their  
highly usable map application. This API seems suitable for wikis,  
which is why there are already three MediaWiki extensions for Google  
Maps. But these extensions seemed a bit too rigid for me, needing  
database modifications and RSS feeds and the like just to display  
markers. So I wrote a simple Google Maps extension: to create a map  
with many labeled markers, you just describe one marker per line with  
the format "latitude,longitude,label", and put all of these markers  
inside of a <googlemap> tag. A neat feature is that the marker labels  
will render wiki formatting. Because of its flexibility, I think this  
extension will prove useful in a wide variety of projects; I  
encourage you to try it out and send me feedback.
