Maps in Mediawiki

This page is a test ground and demo for using maps in mediawiki.

Maps extension

Maps extension with an inline Cargo query

{{#cargo_query: table=Place
|fields   = CONCAT(Coordinates__full, '~', Name , '~',Description )
|format=list
|delimiter=;
|no html
}}

{{#display_map:

{{#cargo_query: table=Place
|fields   = CONCAT(Coordinates__full, '~', Name , '~',Description )
|format=list
|delimiter=;
|no html
}}
 |copycoords=yes
 |resizable=on
 |layers=OpenStreetMap,Esri.WorldImagery

}}

Cargo Displayformat Maps

Openlayers

{{#cargo_query: table=Place |format = openlayers |fields = Name, Description, Coordinates |width = 400 |height = 300 }}

Leaflet

{{#cargo_query: table=Place |format = leaflet |fields = Name, Description, Coordinates |width = 400 |height = 300 }}

Notes

parameters:
- |icon = Squirrelslair 200.png - works, but poor visibility

googlemaps would require billing

Encode locations

Template:Place defines Cargo Table Place.

Locations can be grabbed from Google Maps by right-clicking on an area and then clicking on the coordinates. They can be pasted into the Coordinates template paramater.

Here are the template calls (see edit view).
