Incorrect display of locations on map

Hi, I have a Wiki that receives a large number of case studies pertaining to environment protection. I have the map functionality included and the places where case studies are conducted are reflected on the map. The user can input coordinates for this location. However recently a user had updated a case study conducted along the Czech Republic-German border. However the map fails to display the correct number of locations in this region. All the other locations are displayed perfectly. Please help.

Please specify the versions of the used software.

I am using the following versions. MediaWiki 1.21.1 PHP 5.4.10 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.5.20-log Maps v2.0.1

That is a very old version of Maps. I suggest you try upgrading to the latest one.

I was investigating a possible maps upgrade on our wiki , the MAPS version(2.0.1) is actually UPDATED to the current STABLE release(2.0.x), however the SEMANTIC MAPS version(2.0.1.2) is a bit outdated. The problem with this is that updating the Semantic Map version requires the Map version to be 3.0.x which is not a STABLE release and is still under development. It seems that we will need to wait for the next stable release before upgrading the wiki.Is this true? Please let me know of your suggestions on this.

Yes, I was referring to the site mentioned in Cavila's reply. I am still stuck with the problem here. The ExtensionInstaller and Composer have been installed. The current Maps version for my site is 2.0.1 and I am trying to update it to version 3. Is the procedure different than simply running the composer script? I did this and i could see that a new "extensions" folder is created in the ExtensionInstaller folder and the Maps version 3 is installed within this folder. But when I make the local settings file point to this maps folder, it throws an error. Can someone please help me out? This has been dragging on for a while! Thanks in advance

You will have to remove the old code of the Maps and Validator extension from the extensions folder for this to work. Also their invocation will have to be removed from the LocalSettings.php file. Try also to upgrade to MW 1.22+ so you do not need the ExtensionInstaller extension, which obviously adds extra confusion.
