Presumably this can work just as timelines do:

Sure; all that OpenLayers does is, in the end, produce some object tree
with CSS that could as well be written in plain HTM

At first I thought that these requirements were natural, but are

I think this (and the slippymap tag) are great, but I wonder if using
"map" as a tag name is a good idea. HTML already has a map tag that
means something else.

Hi. Is there anyone that knows the template changes required for

the page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sample_areas will work

This map features a "reset" button, to jum
My three step plan for developing the Simple Map MediaWiki extension
( tag) :
1) Disable the old syntax (with '|' chars) after we've finished changing
all pages on the OSM wiki. Same with the slippy map plugin
2) Add support for 'layer=mapnik' and other layers. Use ojw's new
'GetMap' instead

You might want to find out a bit more about Query-to-map being developed by
kolossos. It shows not just point features but also linear features such as
rivers and roads. I believe it's hosted on Wikimedia's toolserver and is
intended ultimately to be used on Wikipedia pages.

These days I spend more time in Wikipedia than in OpenStreetMap,
but I haven't lost my interest in geography. Among the many things
that need improvement in Wikipedia is the geographic coordinates
that indicate the location of places, buildings, cities, and such.
The OSM wiki has a tag that l
