I keep thinking that (particularly) the wikivoyage[1] could be much better if we had good maps similar to the dantonwiki[2] (that runs on localwiki[3]). Is there any similar map project in mediawiki that can be activated in small wikivoyage wikis?
Something related to OpenStreetMap is the obvious candidate, if it won't melt their somewhat underpowered servers to link them too much.

There's a hack already implemented on enwiki entirely using templates, involving embedding KML source in subpages, that allows a KML map to be displayed on your web-based KML viewer of choice (such as Google Maps).
It works, but is not widely used.
Perhaps it should be revived?
