Putting 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, and 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 general information like that, use the Condmap framework map (see the walkthrough below). If your map will only ever contain personal locations, you can use the Googlemap extension instead (also see the walkthrough).
This walkthrough covers 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.
