Extension:GoogleMapExtension

The Google Maps API provides an easy way to generate custom maps for your web site. I've hacked up an extension/skin hack that allows users to embed custom Google Maps in any page.

Currently, users can customize the following parameters of the map:


 * Size
 * Width of the map
 * Height of the map
 * Center
 * Adjust the latitude and longitude of the center point
 * Zoom
 * Adjust the zoom level of the map
 * Points to plot
 * User can specify RSS feeds to plot if the feed has geographic info embedded
 * By default it graphs all points in the database that have &lt;geo&gt; tags.

More info on the extension can be found at http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:Google_Map_Extension.

This Google Maps extension was the first such extension for MediaWiki. Since its introduction, other Google Maps extensions have been created. They are more current and have more features than this extension. I highly recommend potential users to evaluate those before mine. --IndyGreg 05:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
