Extension:Maps

Maps is the MediaWiki extension that provides the ability to visualize geographic data with dynamic, JavaScript-based mapping APIs such as Google Maps and OpenLayers in your wiki pages. It has built-in support for geocoding, displaying maps, displaying markers and geospatial shapes, adding pop-ups, and more. Maps allows extensive customization of your maps, either per map, or via a general setting affecting all maps on your wiki.

Go to the Maps documentation or the Maps examples.
