This wiki runs a modified version of the Google Maps extension for MediaWiki. It allows wiki users to create zoom-able, pan-able maps of Egypt with customized markers.
Tale 5A Example |
---|
<googlemap width=256 height=512 showposition=yes showregion=yes lat=1010 > 0, 0, This Marker is at 0,0 </googlemap> |
|

All attributes are optional.
Icons
You can host your own collection of icons on your server, but note that they'll have the same anchor points as Google's default icon. Check out Mapki's collection of icon images for a bunch of icons you can use. To use your icons, add an icon attribute to your googlemap-tags like this
<googlemap lat="42.711618" lon="-73.205112" zoom="2" controls="small" icon="http://myserver.com/standardmarker.png" icons="http://myserver.com/markers/marker{label}.png">
Mayanah has some instructions for using an alternate set of icons map here and a set of Mine Specific icons and Quarry Specificon the same page.
ATITD.org now hosts local copies of all the icons Mayanah has provided. Simply use: icons="/wiki/tale5/images/markers/marker{label}.png"

Markers
In the content of the tag, you can define one marker per line. Each line may or may not start with an icon name in parentheses; unless you set the "icons" attribute, legal icon names are the upper-case letters of the alphabet. The line should then have the latitude, then a comma, optionally a space, then the longitude, then a comma, then a label for the point. The label can include wiki mark-up (and commas). These are all legal:
<googlemap lat="1090" lon="559" zoom="2" controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes" scrollwheel="nothing"> (GH) 700,600,here goes the title 400, 400, here goes the title, it can contain commas but not wiki markup (S) 100, 100, here goes the title first line of the caption Second line of the caption, not that the caption can contain wiki markup like [[Resources]] <br><br> </googlemap>
Example:
Tabbed Info Balloons
Each tab should have a plain-text title surrounded by inward-leaning slashes (like /this\) followed by a caption that can include wiki mark-up. Tabs will be attached to the previous marker. Example:
<googlemap lat="1090" lon="559" zoom="2" controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes" scrollwheel="nothing"> (RdP) 900,100 /Info\ This is where a pharo is buried! ;) /Directions\ [http://maps.google.com Click here] to get driving directions Or just drive in a random direction </googlemap>
That will create a point whose info balloon has two tabs. Note that you can put as much or as little space as you'd like between the title and the caption to make the syntax more readable.
If a point has a regular caption and tabbed captions, clicking the point will only show the tabbed captions.
Example:
Example Maps
Good Default Settings
<googlemap lat=1010 lon=0 zoom=1 width=256 height=512> </googlemap>
All of Egypt, Square
<googlemap lat=1010 lon=0 zoom=1 width=512 height=512> </googlemap>
And a real map of egypt:
<googlemap lat="29.980624" lon="31.134653" zoom="14" controls="medium" type="hybrid" selector="yes"> 29.980624, 31.134653, PYRAMIDS </googlemap>
