How to put a map on your page

The ATITD wiki gives you two options for generating maps on wiki pages. The Google Maps extension will create a map from location data you enter manually on your page. The Condmaps framework (built on top of Google Maps) will create a combined map from two types of data: location data that you enter manually on your page, as well as centrally-stored locations that are used in maps all over the wiki.

So when adding a map to your wiki page, your first question is whether it will contain only personal locations (home compound, guild hall, etc.), or whether it might also contain general locations such as chariot stop locations, public mines, and resource locations.

If you might want your map to contain centralized information used elsewhere on the wiki, use a Condmap-style map (see the walkthrough for adding a Condmap to your page).

If your map will only ever contain personal locations, you can use a Googlemap-style map instead (also see the walkthrough for adding a Google map to your page).

These walkthroughs cover only the most basic and commonly used settings for sizing the map, displaying a location, and choosing a marker. See below if you want more information on each of these features.
