I wish there was a way to display, next to the map (or below), a list of locations visible on the map with links to change the focus of the map. Sort of like a table of content. I have seen that in Tetherless Maps for example - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tetherless_Map - but I was never able to make it work right. Take a look at that extension - there are many interesting UI improvements worth looking into. - Laurent ________________________________ From: "jeroen De Dauw" <jeroen_ded...@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 1:58 AM To: mediawik...@lists.wikimedia.org, semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [SMW-devel] Maps and Semantic Maps released Hey, First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Jeroen De Dauw, one of the GSoC students for Wikimedia foundation this year. During the last 2 months I've been working on 2 new mapping extensions for MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki [0] with Yaron Koren [1] as mentor. You can read more about this at my blog [2]. The first version of both extensions has just been released. These are the extensions: Maps Maps [3] is an extension that provides the ability to display coordinate data, using multiple mapping services, including Google Maps [4], OpenLayers [5] and Yahoo Maps [6], and allows users to geocode addresses. Semantic Maps Semantic Maps [7] is an extension that adds semantic capabilities to the Maps extension, and therefore provides the ability to add, view and edit coordinate data stored through the Semantic MediaWiki extension, using multiple mapping services. These include Google Maps, OpenLayers and Yahoo Maps. Semantic Maps and Maps are based on Semantic Google Maps and Semantic Layers, and are meant to replace these extensions. For this extension to work, you need to have both Semantic MediaWiki and Maps installed. You can download both extensions via their documentation pages. Suggestions and feature requests are welcome.
