Pictures as Maps?
I miss the feature of Semantic Layers 0.4 which was to define a jpg or png picture as map for example for video game walkthroughs as it was here: http://s89238293.onlinehome.us/w/index.php?title=Charon_doesn%27t_make_change

Is there also a upcomming demo wiki planed like the one of Semantic Layers? --Danwe 21:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

This functionality is indeed not yet present. It's however, on the to-do list. If you have any comments on that, please place them there.

There is a demo wiki, which is linked to multiple times in the Semantic Maps article. - Jeroen De Dauw 23:31, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Blank Map?
Sorry newbie question. I'm new to semantic wiki and maps extension. I have set my geographic coordinates property (Property:Coordinates) on my category "Companies" and it looks to be set properly. Like so

I make the #ask query as so:

The extension tries to display a map (the controls and 'powered by Google' logo), but there are none of the map image tiles and no pin for the company.

No error messages in the log file. Not sure if there is any logging?

BTW, this is a totally cool extension!

Hey, your query is not returning any coordinate results. No map should be displayed - but the empty map is a bug in 0.2. This has been fixed in the soon comming version 0.3. The easiest way to see what kind of results you are getting is to put 'table' as format. I suggest you do that, and try to get the query right. After that you should not have any problems using Maps/Semantic Maps.
