It's for my astrobiology wiki http://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org

Would be nice to be able to show Google Maps for locations on Mars of features and landers / rovers.

Have it working with one of my other wikis for Earth for supervolcanoes with service="googlemaps3" was wondering if you can get Mars by specifying another service or something?? https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/Why_we%27d_have_centuries_of_warning_of_a_supervolcano_eruption_-_with_zoomable_map_of_top_seven_supervolcanoes#Where_can_we_expect_the_next_supervolcano.3F

Thanks, very useful extension!

I cannot answer for the Maps extension, but WikiMiniMaps has a Mars layer (not provided by Google): https://wma.wmflabs.org/iframe_dev.html?wma=18.65_226.2_700_400_en_8_en&globe=Mars&lang=en&page=Olympus_Mons

Oh that's helpful, thanks. For instance {{coord|4.5895|S|137.4417|E|globe:Mars}} takes you to the Curiosity landing site. It was in my wiki all along, I just hadn't noticed it, it's there in some of the pages imported from Wikipedia, e.g. uriosity (rover)#Landing siteI can now use the same approach in other pages that don't have these coordinates embedded.

It's not quite as flexible as the maps, can't embed it with multiple markers, I'd really like to do something like this as an embeddable zoomable map:

Template:Features and artificial objects on Mars

It would be nice to be able to do it like my Map of top seven supervolcanoes.

So question is still open if anyone else knows how to do that, but it's great to know about WikiMiniAtlas, thanks! Robertinventor (talk) 19:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
